Johann Gottfried Müthel was born in Mölln in the former duchy of Lauenburg (now in Schleswig-Holstein) on January 17, 1728. He was the fifth of nine children born to the organist Christian Caspar Müthel and Anna Dorthea, née Scheven. His father gave him a thorough grounding in general clavier and organ techniques and in playing the violin and flute. The astonishingly rapid progress he made caused his father to send him to study further with Johann Paul Kuntzen, the organist at the Marienkirche in Lübeck. An excellent musician and composer himself, Kuntzen helped his pupil to develop into such an outstanding musician that at the age of only nineteen Müthel found employment as chamber musician and organist to the court of Duke Christian Ludwig II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, where he was also responsible for the musical education of the duke’s son and daughter. He seems to have performed his duties to the full satisfaction of his employer, who in May 1750 granted him paid leave for a year “in order to perfect himself in his métier” with the doyen of composers, Johann Sebastian Bach.
