Johann Georg Pisendel (5 January 1688 [O.S. 26 December 1687] – 25 November 1755) was a German violinist and composer
Ephemeral
He was the leading violinist of his time, and composers such as Albinoni, Telemann, and Vivaldi all dedicated violin compositions to him. Bach possibly wrote his violin sonatas for him. – adapted from Wikipedia
Johann Georg Pisendel
Played the violin so well,
He ranked with leading players of his time.
Composers whom you likely know
Wrote music for Pisendel’s bow,
And thus today we honor him in rhyme.
