Francisco Xavier Baptista
(c.1730 - Lisboa, 1797)

Portuguese organist and composer. Almost nothing is known about his life and career. He was mainly active as harpsichordist and organist in Lisboa, the city where he published a collection of keyboard works entitled "Dodeci Sonate, Variazione, Minuetti per cembalo" (Lisboa, c.1770). Another collection of 26 anonymous toccatas included in the "Colectânea de peças para tecla do século XVIII" were recently attributed to Francisco Xavier Baptista. #ClassicalMusic
