Christian Friedrich Witt
Christian Friedrich Witt, or Witte (c. 1660– 3 April 1717) was a German composer, music editor and teacher.
==Biography==
He was born in Altenburg, where his father, Johann Ernst Witt, was court organist; he had come from Denmark around 1650 when a Danish princess married into the house of Saxe-Altenburg. Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg probably gave Witt a scholarship in 1676 to study in Vienna and Salzburg, and then from 1685–1686 to study composition and counterpoint in Nuremberg with Georg Caspar Wecker, returning for a further period of study in 1688. He moved to Gotha to take up a post as chamber organist to the court in June 1686; he remained there for the rest of his life. He became a substitute for W.M. Mylius, the ''kapellmeister,'' in 1694, and succeeded him after his death in 1713; Duke Frederick II was one of his pupils. He is mentioned as a good keyboard player and ''kapellmeister'' in J.P. Treiber's ''Der accurate Organist im General-Bass'' (1704) and Telemann's ''Beschreibung der Augen-Orgel'' (1739). He was also valued by the courts of Ansbach-Bayreuth, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, and Saxe-Weissenfels. While on his deathbed, Johann Sebastian Bach was commissioned to substitute for him and perform a Passiontide work for the court chapel (the ''Weimarer Passion'' BWV deest (BC D 1)).
