Wolfgang Graeser
Wolfgang Graeser was a Swiss conductor and composer known for his efforts to make Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Kunst der Fuge' more accessible through orchestral arrangements. He gained attention in 1927 for attempting to demonstrate the performability of this complex work, which had previously been deemed too abstract for performance. Graeser's pioneering arrangements contributed to a renewed interest in Bach's music, encouraging musicians to explore the richness of his compositions in various formats.
