Who Is Pachelbel?
Johann Pachelbel was born in Germany, in the city of
Nurnberg in 1653. His father enrolled him in the St. Lorenz High School but
soon recognized Johann's musical potential and arranged for outside musical
training. Johann also showed such impressive academic abilities that he was
allowed to attend various non-music classes at Nurnberg's Auditorium
Aegidianum. These abilities also allowed him to gain entrance to the
Universitat Altdorf in 1669 at the age of fifteen. In addition to his academic
and musical studies, he served as organist at the Pfarrkirche.
Due to financial difficulties, Pachelbel left the university
before the end of his first year and enrolled as a scholarship student
at the Gymnasium Poeticum (high school) in Regensburg. The school's
administration was so impressed by Pachelbel's academic abilities that they
admitted him to the school even though they had already accepted their quota of
students for the school year. He also was given permission to study music
outside the Gymnasium with Kaspar Prentz. It is believed that this
teacher helped to develop Pachelbel's interest in Italian music and church
music.
