The Sons of
Johann Sebastian Bach
In the past the works of Johann Sebastian Bach’s sons
were viewed principally in relation to their father’s
music. It is only with increased knowledge of their
works and the circumstances of their lives that clos er
attention has begun to be paid to the individ uality
and artistic importance of each of Bach’s sons. It is as
contri butions to this new evaluation that the pub lica -
tions by Carus-Verlag in this field are intend ed. Carus
has published rep resentative selections of the music
of Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Christian Bach,
and work has now begun on the publication of a
complete edition of the compositions of Wilhelm
Friedemann Bach.
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710–1784)
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach wrote keyboard and
chamber music, concertos and sacred cantatas. On a
high level of technical ability he created a fascinating
synthesis of baroque complexities and the emotionally
charged galant style. While his instrumental works
were written for the most part in Dresden (1733–
1746) and Berlin (1774–1784) and are in the style of
splendid courtly music, the vocal works date from his
time as organist and director of music at the Marktkirche
in Halle (1746–1764); they are distinguished
by their expressive boldness and virtuosity.
