C.P.E. Bach Sonata E-Flat Major for harpsichord (probably the first recording on harpsichord)

[Sviolinist]

Great playing. Thanks you for playing correctly. I have been chastising others on Youtube for playing these pieces in a romantic style. We're talking about Bach's son here for God's sake.... don't take any tempo liberties people. Keep it strict.

If ANYONE is into J.S Bach they will like his son.

Oh, I learned to play the Solo per il cembalo on the piano. And, I think I have learned the apogiaturas wrongly ._. but, wow, thanks for the video, I coudnt find any with someone playing it on the harpsichord :3

Dear Ernst,

I'm getting happy when I hear this music

you play so easily and beatifully. I never heard it before, so it's quite interesting to listen.

Thanks.

[ernststolz]

Thanks Ria, it surely is "feel good" music!

Lovely, lively, rhythmical playing - you make the interminable works of CPEB sound quite attractive! But not the first on harpsichord - I think you will find Luc Beausejour on Fleur de Lys got there 14 years before you! I guess Miklos has recorded it on clavichord too.

[ernststolz]

Yes, the first part I guess, but not the whole sonata I think? I used a first printed edition, with 2 different versions of part 2 & 3. But I will look for it. Thanks!

I love this galant period and you play it so elegant. Thank you, Ernst.

Thanks Trond! (Actually I think I like earlier music a bit more, most of the time)

[GeraldBoyClassical]

Very nice Ernst! In what style would you call this piece?

[ernststolz]

Hi Gerald. I would say this is galant. A style between the baroque style of J.S Bach. and the "Empfindsamkeit" of the later work by C.P.E.
