Avec l'accession au trône de Frédéric II, le petit Royaume de Bayreuth connut une brève préiode de floraison culturelle. Wilhelmine de Prusse prit Johann Pfeiffer sous son aile en 1734, compositeur dont peu d'oeuvres nous sont parvenues. Le Batzdorfer Hofkapelle rend hommage à cette musique trop longtemps négligée, aux fortes influences italiennes.
