A composer or musician who specializes in writing or performing counterpoint and contrapuntal music.
From 'contrapuntal' + '-ist' (one who practices). Formed in English during the 19th century as musicology developed as a field.
Being a great contrapuntalist means you can think in multiple melodic dimensions at once—composers like Bach were geniuses at this mental juggling act!
