J.C. Bach - Sextet in C major

[@mrbigarms]

Over the years I've listened to a huge amount of JC Bach and constantly amazed at his huge output of music. He had the ability to compose beautiful melodies incorporated into perfectly formed works. I think this Sextet is one of his finest works.

Indeed. Bach was a leading proponent of the Italian School; only the best end up working as music director's for royalty

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Markus Boyd Just for the record: Bach’s title as Music Master to Queen Charlotte (wife of George III), was largely honorary, though financially helpful. Almost all JC’s music was written for London concert or opera audiences, not royalty; in addition, he was able to undertake a number of foreign commissions for operas from Mannheim and Paris for example. Royal, aristocratic, and Church patronage of music in England - with occasional exceptions earlier in the century - were almost irrelevant when compared to Vienna, much of Germany, and elsewhere on the continent. In England, resident composers like Handel and JC Bach, along with later visitors like Haydn, made their money through concerts, theatres, public subscriptions, publishing their music, and the like, and they worked through impresarios and other professional bodies.

Absolutely incredible!

Pleasant and calming score. The picture really fits.

This a quite pleasent score in which the oboe and the viloin share the treble partts while the intermediate partts are played by the horns. the voice of the clavier is not neglected and we can hear it in some sections. The central movement highlights the solo oboe.

What a great performance from the English Concert directed from the fortepiano by Trevor Pinnock,who founded the ensemble in 1973,when I was 6 years old at the time,and this music reminds me like Haydn and Mozart,and I like this work so much and well performed.

Musica gradevole con strumentisti di primo ordine

É uma música deliciosa, bela. Leve.

[@matteovasta5952]

Come non immaginare quanto Mozart non abbia subito anche l’impronta del Bach italiano oltre cha dalla orchestra di Mannheim.?

pensé que sólo beethoven habia compuesto un sexteto.
