About Johann Friedrich Wenkel
Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Wenkel (1734–1803) was a German composer and organist whose documented working life connects Quedlinburg, Halberstadt, Berlin, Stendal, and Uelzen. Authority sources place his birth in Niedergebra (21 November 1734) and his death in Uelzen (28 December 1803), and describe him with roles including Kantor, Musikdirektor, organist, and Subconrector, with Bach digital specifically noting him as an organist in Uelzen. His surviving musical footprint in this run is glimpsed through 18th-century miscellany context (Musikalisches Allerley von verschiedenen Tonkünstlern), where he is credited with pieces such as a Solo for Flute in D major and two Menuets in D major; and through modern performance revival, where the album Salonfähig (Sonaten für Flöte & Cembalo) (Christina Fassbender and Gregor Hollmann) includes a Wenkel “Sonatensatz D-Moll: Andante” for solo traverso.
