Summary[edit]

Description
English: Johann Christoph Pachelbel portrait, circa 1748.

Important usage note: all indications are that this is not Johann Pachelbel (the famous composer best known in modern times for the composition, Canon in D [though it's possible he's a relative]). The composer died in 1706, 42 years before the date the sketch itself provides internally, as placed by its unknown 18th century author.

Additionally, despite his fame and the existence of contemporaneous writings about him during his lifetime, no source has been located indicating the composer had the middle name "Christoph" (or even a mention of him with a middle initial "C").

Be very circumspect when looking at external sources that use this image, or one of the other versions of it also found on the Wikimedia Commons, as in any way proving this is indeed the composer, as hundreds of uses on the Internet of this image proliferated by the false association previously provided on this page, and the other versions at other files name here.

Français : Portrait de Johann Christoph Pachelbel. Note importante : tout indique que ce portrait n'est pas celui de Johann Pachelbel, le célèbre compositeur, très connu pour sa composition du « Canon en  » – Il est possible que ce soit un parent. Le compositeur est mort en 1706, c'est-à-dire 42 ans avant la date du dessin d'un auteur inconnu du 18e siècle.

En outre, en dépit de sa renommée et de l'existence d'écrits contemporains sur lui, tout au long de sa vie, aucune source n'indique que le compositeur avait le prénom Christoph (pas même une mention avec une initiale « C »).

Soyez donc très circonspect quand des sources externes utilisent cette image, ou les autres versions de celui-ci sur Wikimedia Commons. comme des centaines d'utilisations sur le web de cette image qui prolifère avec une fausse association.
