Unlike his brothers, Kasper remained in Nuremberg all his life. In 1586 he became organist at the
Egidienkirche, succeeding
Hans Haidens, but he was replaced himself in 1587 by
Wilhelm Endels at Sankt Lorenz. From 1616 until his death he worked as an organist at
St. Sebaldus Church, one of the most prestigious posts in the city. He also worked alongside his brother Hans Leo in the silver and copper mining trade for the first decade of the 17th century. Though a composer himself, he is mainly notable in the history of music for his publishing work, producing valuable collections of music by Italian and German composers and thus helped to introduce and spread Italian
prima prattica to Germany. He was also known to give advice on organs and probably also worked as an organ restorer. ==Sources==
