- Hidden gems - CPE Bach's work is rarely recorded nowadays, with his fathers work taking the preference of most performers.
Born in Weimar, Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-88) was the fifth child and second surviving son of JS Bach and his first wife Maria Barbara. By his
own account he had no other teacher for composition and keyboard except his father. Nevertheless, the majority of Emanuel’s earliest works owe
more to the influence of Telemann and other exponents of the new galant style, while already suggesting his own progressive instinct. At the age
of twenty-four, after seven years studying law, Emanuel decided to devote himself to music. In 1738 he accepted the position of keyboard player
at the court of the Prussian crown prince – the future Frederick the Great. After nearly thirty years of royal service he left Berlin and moved to
Hamburg, where he occupied the positions of Music Director and Cantor until his death.
