Georg Muffat (baptized June 1, 1653 - February 23, 1704) was a Baroque composer.
Works
His works are strongly influenced by both French and Italian composers:

- Sonatas for various instruments (armonico tributo 1682);
- Orchestral suites (florilegium primum & secundum 1695);
- 12 Concerti grossi (auserlesene... instrumental Musik 1701) re-using some thematic material from armonico tributo
- 12 Toccatas for the organ as well as other pieces : passacaglia, chaconne, air with variations (apparatus musico-organisticus);
- some partitas for the harpsichord, kept as a manuscript
- several religious works (notably three masses, Salve Regina, etc.) from which only Missa in labore requies for 24 parts is preserved.
Muffat was, as Johann Jakob Froberger before him, and Handel after him, a cosmopolitan composer who played an important role in the exchanges between European musical traditions. His music books contain useful indications on musical practice during his life.
