Alberti, Johann Friedrich 01/11/1642 - 06/17/1710

Johann Friedrich Alberti (* January 11, 1642 in Tönning, Schleswig; † June 14, 1710 in Merseburg) was a German organist and composer.

He received his training in Leipzig from Werner Fabricius and in Dresden from Vincenzo Albrici. He then worked as a cathedral organist in Merseburg until his departure in 1698 as the result of the paralysis of his right hand following a stroke.

His student Georg Friedrich Kauffmann was appointed to replace him who after Albertis death, became his successor as the royal Saxon-Merseburg court and cathedral organist belonging to the court of Duke Moritz Wilhelm and at the Cathedral of Merseburg.

Alberti created choral preludes and choral arrangements as well as various sacred songs.
