Gottlieb Daniel Naumann was a German organist. He was born the son of Father: Daniel Naumann (catechist and schoolmaster in Mühlbach1 or Neudörfchen2). He stayed (probably with school attendance) in Mühlbach and (from 1725) in Chemnitz. He attended the Thomasschule in Leipzig (as an external?); enrolled at the University of Leipzig on March 27, 1734; and was a pupil of J.S. Bach there. In April 1740 he succeeded another J.S. Bach's pupil, Bernhard Dieterich Ludewig as organist at Schmölln.
Gottlieb Daniel Naumann's lessons with J.S. Bach were mentioned in the presentation letter for his employment in Schmölln in 1740. In connection with an unsuccessful application for Kantor and service organist in Brehna in 1737, it is said that he was a member of a Collegium Musicum in Leipzig - probably of J.S. Bach.
