Johann Caspar [Kaspar] Ferdinand Fischer was a German (Bohemian) Baroque composer and Kapellmeister.

Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer () was born in Bohemia, and was active as a Kapellmeister at the Saxon-Lauenburg court for a staggering 60 years.

Precursor of the „Well-Tempered Clavier I“ was an organ work: „Ariadne musica“ of Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer ().

It is also evident, from his music, that he had captured the spirit of the late baroque French instrumental style of J. B. lully and helped introduce it into Germany. Like much baroque music, Fischer's compositions were first published in great sets.

Among them are Journal de Printemps (1695), charming orchestral or dance suites following the French order; Musikalisches Blumen-Büschlein (1696), keyboard suites; Vesperae (1701), Vesper psalms for eight voices and instrumental accompaniment; Ariadne Musica (1715), preludes and fugues in 20 keys together with ricercars for the church seasons (this became the model for J.

S. bach's Well-Tempered Clavier ); Litaniae Laurentiae (1711), eight litanies and four Marian antiphons
