List of composers named Johann
editOne day on my way home from work I heard a piece of music on the radio and I was enjoying it and thinking it was probably something by Bach, but it turned out to be a sinfonia by Johann Hasse, then I got to thinking about composers named Johann, so I decided to see how many I could think of, and I came up with these:
- Johann Hasse
- Johann Sebastian Bach
- Johann Christian Bach
- Johann Rosenmüller
- Johann Pachelbel
- Johan Halvorsen
I have since expanded the list whenever I've heard of other composers named Johann.
I would also like to mention that my friend Steve suggested adding Johannes Brahms to the list, but I decided to leave him off because he is a scoundrel.
