Georg Andreas Kraft

Georg Andreas Kraft (c. 1660 – 1 December 1726) was a German Baroque composer and musician. His surname is sometimes given as Krafft or Crafft, and his first name sometimes appears in its Italianized form Giorgio.

Kraft was born in Nuremberg, and with the encouragement of the Elector Palatine, Johann Wilhelm, trained in Italy under the composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli. On his return, he served as the concert master of the court orchestra in Düsseldorf and composed the ballet music for several operas by his friend Johann Hugo von Wilderer, another composer at Johann Wilhelm's court. He also performed at the coronation of emperor Charles VI at Frankfurt am Main in 1711.
