This is a tough one for me. He appears to be from the baroque period but that's all I can tell.

winner winner chicken dinner - Sara O. Dunno how you dun it cause he dont come up easy in a google search girl. He wrote the "Devils Trill" sonata after Satan hisself visited him in a dream. True story I swear. Funny how the great talents of that era were accused of Devil worship due to their advanced talent. Paganini was accused also.jimi-hendrix
