Sebastian Bodinus

Sebastian Bodinus was a German composer who lived during the Baroque and early Classical periods. While details of his life remain somewhat scarce, we know he was active in the mid-18th century and held a position at the Karlsruhe court. His music, often featuring elegant melodies and refined harmonies, showcases a blend of Baroque craftsmanship and emerging Classical sensibilities.

Bodinus is primarily known for his instrumental works, particularly his trio sonatas and divertissements. These pieces, often light and entertaining in character, were likely intended for courtly entertainment. His "Musikalischen Divertissements" are a notable example of his compositional style, demonstrating his skill in crafting engaging and accessible music for smaller ensembles.
