Hamburger Sonata in G Major W133 (CPE Bach)
Movements
i Allegretto, ii Rondo presto
Notes
CPE Bach was a German Classical period composer and musician, the fifth child and second surviving son of Johann Sebastian Bach. He was an influential composer working at a time of transition between his father’s Baroque style and the Classical style that followed it. He was the principal representative of the empfindsamer Stil or ‘sensitive style’. The qualities of his keyboard music are forerunners of the expressiveness of Romantic music, in deliberate contrast to the statuesque forms of Baroque music.
