Johann Melchior Molter, was born on February 10, 1696 - 1765, was a German baroque composer and violinist. He was born at Tiefenort, near Eisenach, and was educated at the Gymnasium in Eisenach. Molter did not aspire to the heights of the old masters, nor did he ever intended to. But his works contain a wealth of deceptive simplicity, considered to be a sensitive and sincere composer in his own right.
