Daniel Danielis:
Born: 1635? -- Visé -- Belgium
Died: 1696 -- Vannes -- France

Since he had his first lessons in the Netherlands (Maastricht) he would have felt the influence of Sweelinck. Also other German masters have influenced his work. His position at the court of Mecklembourgh-Güstrow let him to explore the more Italian style, which was fancy at that time in Germany. This can be remarked in his instrumental works. His position in France made the synergy of styles complete. At that time the French style became to his full potential. Indeed, in his later works of France a considerable influence of Charpentier and Couperin is remarkable.
