Total nutcase, and a brilliant one as well.

I agree I would love to find a torrent for this, because this is incredible music. I need to convince my professor for our chamber orchestra to let us play this! It does sound fun

[Ghostanus]

Anyone know where I can acquire this performance? I've checked for a torrent, Amazon, blogs, etc.

[Imhof44]

@Ghostanus Almost all of Leonhardt`s musical performances are available on Amazon.WQ 23 is on his Jubilee Edition (Sony) ,then have a crack at WQ 46 on Deutsche Harmonia Mundi( single CD) A truly monumental Concerto,coupled with WQ 47 the battle of the Harpsichord versus the Fortepiano(A Phyrric Victory if ever there was one).

Fascinating discussion. How can anybody look upon Haydn as Mozart's predecessor when a good portion of Haydn's great GREAT works were written after Mozart's death? Re the streams, would you therefore place Beethoven in the Haydn stream and Schubert in the Mozart one? Just wondering.

- From a long-time fan of Haydn and of CPE Bach.

Gustav leonhardt is the best bach's family interpreter. Very good*************

[davidc5191]

LtTemeraire you are absolutely correct. I've always believed that two streams of musical style stemmed from old J.S. Bach - the Style Galant (J.C. Bach) which influenced Mozart, and the Empfindsamkeit (C.P.E. Bach) which influenced Hayden. You can follow these streams over the next 100 years. R. Strauss is the musical descendent of C.P.E. while a Debussy descends from J.C. C.P.E. is wonderfully complex and eccentric, as this recording demonstrates.

@davidc5191 As someone who has spent their entire life and profession studying classical music, I rarely bother to read youtube comments on classical music. However this is a very astute observation. I'm not sure you can reliably extrapolate it all the way to strauss but I think you illustrated some diametric movements through music history, and certainly the comment about mozart vs haydn is more correct than a lot of people realize. I'm sick of the view of haydn as mozarts precursor.

I have been looking for this piece for many years now!! Thank you so much for uploading.

[Imhof44]

@docoftheworld This is only the First Movement!

[docoftheworld]

@Imhof44 thank you nonetheless!! :)

CPE's musical imagination is incredible. He is all over the place, constantly creating excitement. He grabs you from the start, and takes your ears on a 7 minute rollercoaster ride. A veritable Jimi Hexdrix amongst composers.

[Leitilumo]

Mozart probably studied this...

love carl philipp emanuel's style of "Sturm and Drang". Thanks for sharing this with us ;)

btw, who is the interpreter?

[DesAbends]

Gustav Leonhardt :-)

[Arcadiangrove]

@LtTemeraire .This is not Sturm und Drang,rather it is Empfindsam,that is "music which comes from the heart"

Collegium Aureum with Gustav Leonhardt AWESOME!!!! Also try WQ46 a monumental masterpiece from a composer that deserves to stand alongside his father.

[Imhof44]

@LtTemeraire This is not really "Sturm und Drang" rather "Empfindsam" or music of the heart and inner soul.CPE was the greatest master of this style and deseves to be as famous as his Father.
