Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, born in 1714, was a pioneering composer who seamlessly bridged the Baroque and Classical periods, carving out his own distinctive musical identity beyond the shadow of his renowned father, Johann Sebastian Bach. As the second surviving son, Carl Philipp Emanuel's compositions are celebrated for their approachable yet innovative nature, characterised by unexpected, angular melodies and a dynamic, energetic spirit. His works, including his influential sonatas for keyboard and violin, have left a lasting impact on the classical music landscape.
Beyond his compositions, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was also a notable performer and music publisher. His Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments, published in 1753, remains a significant contribution to musical pedagogy. Throughout his career, he was both revered and criticised for his bold musical departures, solidifying his status as a transitional figure in music history. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach passed away in 1788, leaving behind a rich musical legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
