Johann Buttstett → Johann Walther

Johann Gottfried Walther studied under Johann Heinrich Buttstett in Erfurt, where Buttstett served as organist and teacher at the Predigerkirche. Buttstett, an important representative of the south German organ tradition, provided Walther with musical training during the period when he surrounded himself with a circle of pupils. Walther is described as the most important composer to have received musical instruction from Buttstett, indicating a significant pedagogical relationship between the two musicians.
