Description and Table of Contents

Description

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) was the most famous of all Johann Sebastian Bach's sons. This biography of his life and musical achievements includes many compositions that have remained unpublished. Particular care has been taken to set the music in its context. The text supplies information about Bach's contacts with literary and philosophical figures, and about the social, intellectual and aesthetic environment in which he worked. The final chapter is devoted to his posthumous influence and reputation.
