Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AGRICOLA, JOHANN FRIEDRICH (1720-1774) ,
German
 
musician, was born at Dobitschen in Saxe-Altenburg, on the 4th of January 1720. While a student of law at
Leipzig
  he studied music under Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1741 he went to Berlin, where he studied musical composition. He was soon generally recognized as one of the most skilful organists of his time; and in 1751, as the result of a comic opera, Il Filosofo convinto in amore, performed at Potsdam, he was made
court
  composer to Frederick the
Great
 . He died in Berlin on the 1st of December 1774. In 17J9, on the death of Karl Heinrich Graun, he was appointed conductor of the royal orchestra. Besides several operas of merit, he composed instrumental pieces and
church
  music. His reputation chiefly rests, however, on his theoretical, and
critical
  writings on musical subjects. He wrote under the pseudonym of Flavio Anicio Olibrio.
