Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present a biography of relatively unknown composer – JohannValentin Meder. The title of this article indicates the composer’s penchant for changingplaces of living, which makes him unique among other baroque composers. He spentmost of his life in three European cities: Reval (currently Tallinn), Gdańsk, and Riga. Born in Wasungen (Germany), he visited: Leipzig, Jena, Gotha, Copenhagen, Rotenburg, Kassel,Brema, Hamburg, Lübeck, Mitau, Kaliningrad (Königsberg), and Braunsberg. The lack ofany sources in Polish deems this project worthy of scholarly investigation.
