Alexander Maasmann was a Harpsichordist, Organist and composer active in Eastern Prussia during the baroque era. Almost nothing is known about his life, not even his date of birth or death. In 1715, his suite in a minor was published by Hare & Walsh in London titled:"A Compleat Suite of Lessons for the Harpsicord, as Overture, Allemand, Saraband, Corant, Gavott, Chacoon, Jigg & Minuett." It is certain that he did not do much travelling, however he was known throughout England and France. Around the year 1700 he was the Organist at the Königsberg Cathedral on the Island of Kneiphof.

Name

In the original print his name is spelt as "Mr. Alexander Maas=mann Prusse", this could have meant that he was "Mr. Alexander Maas, man from Prussia". Therefore, his real name might have been Alexander Maas.
