Only the initials give an indication of his first name. However, one searches in vain for information about his whereabouts and musical activity. His compositions, which are still available to us today, consist exclusively of organ works (including trios, a rondo and a fugue on B-A-C-H with complicated contrapuntal finesse) as well as chorale arrangements. Since even well-known church hymns were not used across denominational boundaries at the time, it can nevertheless be concluded from his few chorale preludes that Tauscher himself may have been active as an organist in the Protestant sphere, who, as can be seen from the surviving compositions, then probably mastered the organ as a player.
