About Johann Beer
Johann Beer also Bahr, Behr or Bär, (Sankt Georgen, 28 February 1655 – 6 August 1700, Weissenfels) was an Austrian author, court official and composer. Beer was born in Austria to Protestant parents. In 1676 he entered the service of Augustus, Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels as a countertenor. In 1700 he died, aged 45, as the result of a hunting accident. His comic writings are reminiscent of Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen. His work of music theory Musikalische Discurse reveals German baroque performance practice.
