Life

Krebs was born in 1713 in Buttelstedt to Johann Tobias Krebs, an organist. At least three of his brothers were musically talented. Krebs was sent to Leipzig to study organ, lute, and the violin.^[1]

Krebs studied with Johann Sebastian Bach on the organ.

Bach (who had also instructed Krebs's father) held Krebs in high standing. From a technical standpoint, Krebs was unrivaled next to Bach in his organ proficiency.^{[citation needed]} However, Krebs found it difficult to obtain a patron or a cathedral post.

His Baroque style was being supplanted by the newer galant music style and the classical music era.^{[citation needed]}
