Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - Cello Concerto in A minor, Wq 170

Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach was probably the most important of the four sons of Bach who became composers. His style is fully personal, and in parallel with Haydn, he contributed to define the classical forms. This oncerto is both full of fantasy in the inspiration and very rigorous in terms of architecturre.

[@EdwardBast]

@@captainbeastazoid7084 Me too.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Haydn’s two cello concertos in C major (c.1761 -1765), and D major (1783), have virtually nothing in common with each other, apart from the composer’s name. Ergo, if you find a resemblance to one, there can be no resemblance to the other. You’re right that this - like all CPE’s works - is fascinating, but the third movement sounding like Haydn ? The 3rd movement sounds like ‘Here we go gathering nuts in May’; the plodding, meandering, totally uncharacteristic and un-Haydnesque Moderato opening movement of the D major concerto is Haydn with the electricity cut off. Surely none of this sounds remotely like CPE Bach ? CPE - perhaps the least Italianate composers of the age - sounding like Vivaldi ? I’m curious as to the links you say you hear.

[@rainerausdemspring894]

Vivaldi? You seem to be deaf.

[@christianwouters6764]

​@@elaineblackhurst1509I also don't see much ressemblance with Haydn's cello concerto's. The interaction soloist-orchestra is much more integrated in H. This sounds like a sonata for cello and harpsichord with the latter's part simply transcribed for unison strings.

[@jallain1687]

Several parts of this concerto are variations of the flute concerto Wq 166. 1st movement is vigorous, the 2nd. is wonderful!

[@oldbird4601]

Who else came here looking for J.S Bach and found another brilliant baroque composer instead

[@sameash2990]

Came here looking for CPE, found CPE

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Piano Weeb Glad you’ve discovered this very interesting and highly individual composer; however, he cannot be classified as Baroque. Most of CPE Bach’s works are written in what is normally termed an ‘empfindsamer Stil’, and it is part of the Classical period normally associated with Mozart and Haydn. As indicated by his dates (1714 - 1788), and his name, he was born into the Baroque world - and some of his music has traces of this - but most of his works follow the forms and structure of the next age: sonata form, symphonies, sonatas, and so forth.

[@oldbird4601]

Oh thanks that’s news to me never considered the possibility of someone named Bach who wasn’t a baroque composer lol

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

PstScrpt Of all the composers who could be said to have influenced Mozart, CPE is the least important - the hugely influential Versuch, CPE’s ground-breaking manual on the true art of keyboard playing excepted. Forget some of the ‘experts’ and just trust the evidence of your own ears; not a single note of either composer sounds like anything ever written by the other. The two composers never met, and CPE is barely mentioned in Mozart’s letters apart from the odd reference to asking his father to get hold of some fugues for example which was not about an interest in CPE particularly, but was actually part of a much wider interest in older counterpoint techniques which included studying those of JS Bach and Handel, Michael Haydn, and a number of others. CPE Bach entries in the index of any Mozart biography are always very few in number, and the reason why is pretty straightforward.

[@peiquedq]

This. Was _Awesome._

[@75Chopin]

Great touch and light, not over-romantic, almost can fool one to believe this is a period performance. It does not appear he is using even a transitional bow but hard to tell from the video.

[@Georgeth-kb6rg]

I adore J.S.Bach and Handel, I love Vivaldi... but CPE is really speaking to me personally; its a bond with him

[@adriatorras8077]

George 1010th And Scarlatti?

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

George 1010th Bach, Handel,Vivaldi (and Scarlatti as mentioned in the other comment), are composers of the late or high Baroque who produced many of the greatest works in this style. CPE Bach, whose music contains some occasional traces of the baroque style however, is not a baroque composer. Emanuel Bach is a highly individual composer whose work falls predominantly in the early/mid Classical period; probably the most accurate words used to describe his music are ‘empfindsamer Stil’, and/or Empfindsamkeit’. Neither of these descriptive expressions can meaningfully be applied to the Baroque period or its music, they are quintessentially Classical. Empfindsamkeit, and empfindsamer Stil are related terms meaning in simple terms - sensibility, sentimentality and sensitiveness. The music is characterised by a musical rhetoric and a very dynamic aesthetic of emotional expression - check out Dr Burney’s account of an evening spent with CPE to get a better idea of what these words actually mean in practice! Your comment about CPE speaking to you personally is very perceptive; if you read through his Versuch, you will know that to him, the main aim of the composer was to provide the performer with music to move the emotions of both him/herself and the listener in keyboard music, this aesthetic also applies to his other works. In short, CPE is not of the same age as his father, nor the other great composers mentioned above.

[@SteveofArms]

@@elaineblackhurst1509 sure does sound very baroque though. I've certainly heard early classical music and this seems so different still.

[@nasrchellouf5725]

Perhaps Emanuelle was the Victim of Jean Sebastian. Same time it's not beneficial to have such legend of father.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Nasr Chellouf In fact, Emanuel (sic) was more famous than his father Johann Sebastian throughout the 18th and well into the 19th century; if anyone said ‘Bach’, they invariably meant CPE (except perhaps in London or Buckeburg). Today of course, the name without qualification almost always means JS.

[@sandorzsikla5800]

Köszönöm LOFT music.

[@afbf6522]

CPE Bach és el mestre del drama i l'elegància. En aquesta peça, com en el seu famós concert per a flauta, enceta la música amb un potent altibaix melòdic de gest decidit, i manté el caràcter durant el primer moviment sencer.

[@sameash2990]

CPE just has that oomph that few other composers had

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Sam Eash You’re right, CPE is very much a one-off. Check out these German words: (i) ‘empfindsamer Stil’, (ii) ‘Empfindsamkeit’. These two mean almost the same thing, and will give you a bit more detail on the ‘oomph’ you mentioned.

[@fransmeersman2334]

You're absolutely right, CPE has a very entertaining and very personal musical language and certainly in this concerto. Of course a magnificent performance also.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Ran A You’re not alone, though CPE (sic) can be something of an acquired taste due to his strikingly original ‘empfindsamer Stil’ compositions. It is normal to initial Emanuel Bach as CPE (not KPE) as was done in his own time; for example, in the editions of the 1750’s of his famous ‘Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments’ - the ‘Versuch’ - his name, in beautiful gothic script is clearly spelt ‘Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’. Stick to CPE or we’ll have confusion as there is practically an alphabet of different musical Bach’s; KPE Bach is about as real as PDQ Bach!

Don't be rude ! The comments say "historically correct", not exactly authentic. They play in 440 not 415, with modern instruments. But I have heard so many horrible playing (with a great orchester, with the ornements played like in 19th century... ) that this execution seems for me a good one. The instrumentalists are very good, the cellist excellent, doesn't make too much. It doesn't pretend to be an execution with baroque instruments. I think it is authorized to played like this ! If no, why does pianists play Bach on a great piano ? And was Glen Gould a Bach-killer ? We have here a very good concert, historically acceptable. I think this is not an anachronism, and we are pleased to have listened this concerto. That's all. In addition, the persons who doesn't appreciate your comment can be polite... You are authorized to have another opinion, and you do not agree the words "historically correct". "Correct" is not "exact" or authentic"... (But excuse, my english is not native !)
