Discover the music of four fellows who followed in the footsteps of their famous father.

These rarely-performed works by W.F. Bach, J.C.F. Bach, J.C. Bach, and C.P.E. Bach showcase the compositional mastery they learned from Johann Sebastian, while also revealing how they each were able to develop their own unique style.

Wilhelm Friedemann’s music is closest to his father’s, while Carl Philipp Emanuel’s is more imaginative and expressive. Johann Christian’s music, on the other hand, is closer to the classical style of Mozart, although his earliest works are remarkably similar to Emanuel’s. Johann Christoph Friedrich’s compositional style resembles those of both Emanuel and Christian.

PROGRAM:
W.F. Bach – Erzittert und fallet (Oh, Tremble and Falter)
J.C.F. Bach – Die Amerikanerin (The American)
J.C. Bach – Symphony in G minor, Op. 6, No. 6
C.P.E. Bach – Magnificat
