Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

March 8, 1714 - December 14, 1788
born in Weimar, Germany, composed during the Classical period
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) was the second-born, and most consequential, son of Johann Sebastian Bach. By 1740, Bach was keyboardist in the Berlin-based court of King Frederick II, but resigned in 1768 to succeed Georg Philipp Telemann in Hamburg, finishing out his career there. Disdaining "rational" formal designs of classicism, Bach favored empfindinger stil -- sensitive style -- which emphasized emotion and foreshadowed romanticism. Bach's Essay on the Art of Playing the Clavier (1768) was the first major method for the piano, and his symphonies, piano concertos, chamber music, solo character pieces, and sacred choral works are likewise significant. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi

Yes, it would be great if more high school freshmen were able to appreciate this timeless ethereal music that speaks to the soul. There's a lot of good music out there, but nothing comes close to classical music.

all great
Beautiful
:)!!!!!....z z z . . z z z . . . . s o relaxing...
This piece of music is really delightful!

ffffffffffff f f f f f f f
I'm a freshman in high school and I don't think people my age realize how amazing this genre of music is.

Love it
His music helps me write my papers :)
A more contemporary sound , an evolution of his fathers music yet unique in its own right.
It does remind me of Vivaldi
Agreed - it is the rare father who passes on his passion, gives training, and allows freedom so well as did J.S. Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach has taught his well
Enjoyable works, with hints of Mozart and Scarlatti, woven together beautifully in CPE's uniquely intimate style.
GORGEOUS PIECE, AND SOOTHING TO THE SPIRIT.
agreed Lauren... I find that I like C Bach more so than his father.
Isn't this mislabeled. Isn't this Johann Sebastian Bach's Double Concerto??
I think Handel, J.S. Bach and a little Mozart and Haydn when listening to C.P.E. Bach. I could never understand the relative obscurity he suffers.
I like him better than I like his father. Nothing against J.S., but whenever there's a Bach piece I'm just wild about, it always turns out to be C.P.E.
C.P.E. was so different, he deserves to be considered on his own without comparison. It truly is apples and oranges.

However...be t t e r than his father? I want to scoop my eyes out after reading that.
pamahoster
a msater who will become more revered with the passage of time...i look forward to discovering more of his music...
I think some of C. P. E. Bach's rhythms are similar to Vivaldi's... a b r u p t, bright, and soothing at the same time. Love this!
ednbobbie
J.S. Bach has always been a favorite of mine, but I'm not ALWAYS that crazy about his kids. However accasionally I hear something by C.P.E. Bach that I like very much. And this is one of them! Thanks again Pandora, I'm getting glader every day that I hooked up with you! Ed
I agree...
In my humble opinion, better than his father.
He's is great! just like his father.
