Johan Georgius Pfeil (Bach's Pupil?)

Born: 1713 - unknown
Died: unknown

Johann Georgius Pfeil made his application to enroll at the Thomasschule in Leipzig in 1729. J.S. Bach reported (May 1729): “not demonstrating abilities in music”. He was not accepted. Most probably he was not J.S. Bach's pupil.
