This was the first attempt at a full length biography of Bach and a
critical apreciation of his work as composer and performer.
Translated by Walter Emery in 1941-1942 with introductory notes and
two appendices, but not published in his lifetime. Walter Emery,
musicologist, specialised in the works J.S. Bach.
The Letters of C.P.E. Bach is a complete edition of the correspondence of the most famous of J.S. Bach's sons. Very few of these letters have appeared previously in English translation. They provide a fascinating picture of an eighteenth-century composer hard at work publishing his own music, debating aesthetic matters, and championing the music and teachings of his father. The readable translation, detailed index, extensive cross referencing, and glossary of names make this an accessible and useful volume.
This volume contains C.P.E. Bach's "Achtzehn Probe-Stucke in Sechs
Sonaten" and "Sechs neue Clavier-Stucke," Wq 63 (H 70-75, H
292-297), written as a companion to his keyboard treatise "Versuch
uber das wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen." Also included is a
facsimile of Gerstenberg's arrangement of Wq 63/6/iii published in
"La Flora" (1787) with texts of the dying Socrates and Hamlet's "To
be or not to be" soliloquy.
