Jean-Adam Guilain

Born: 1680, Germany

Died: 1739

Nationality: German

Jean-Adam Guilain (real name Johann Adam Wilhelm Freinsberg) was a German organist and harpsichordist who was mostly active in Paris during the first half of the eighteenth century.

Little is known about his life. He was born in Germany, possibly around 1680 (the exact dates of birth and death are unknown). For an unknown reason he moved to France some time before 1702, and almost certainly became one of Louis Marchand's pupils - Guilain's organ collection is dedicated to Marchand, by then a prominent organ teacher.
