Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOT : Gottfried Finger
Gottfried Finger (1660?-August 31, 1730), also Godfrey Finger, was a Moravian Baroque composer. Much of his compositions were for the viol and opera. He was born in modern-day Olmutz, Czech Republic and worked for the court of James II of England before becoming a free-lance composer.
After an opera composing contest in London in which Finger came in fourth, he left England and moved to Germany. He died in Mannheim.
