Of all the composers in 18th-century Germany Christoph Graupner is one of the most singular.

It is difficult to grasp his musical style as it seems so out of step with the compositional mainstream of his time. Even after repeated listening to a particular piece it is hard to remember anything, let alone that one is able to whistle or sing something one just has heard. It seems to me the reason for that is that Graupner's music is consisting of short motifs which seem to follow each other in random order.

This could well be the reason why for a long time his music wasn't given much attention to. But that seems to change.
