A playful allegro movement...
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - Sonata In G, WQ 65/22 (H 56) - Allegro
Performed by Francois Chaplin in the album "C.P.E. Bach: Keyboard Sonatas" (Naxos: 1998).
About Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach:
Quote:
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (8 March 1714 – 14 December 1788) was a German Classical period musician and composer, the fifth child and second (surviving) son of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach.
Ludwig van Beethoven expressed for his genius the most cordial admiration and regard. This position he owes mainly to his keyboard sonatas, which mark an important epoch in the history of musical form. Lucid in style, delicate and tender in expression, they are even more notable for the freedom and variety of their structural design; they break away altogether from both the Italian and the Viennese schools, moving instead toward the cyclical and improvisatory forms that would become common several generations later.
The content of his work is full of invention and, most importantly, extreme unpredictability, and wide emotional range even within a single work, a style that may be categorised as Empfindsamer Stil.
Have you heard many of his keyboard sonatas, skaltezon? This allegro movement and the description of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's work overall make me curious about his compositions.
