@skeptikulo I beg your pardon - playing the notes means nothing, trust me, CPE Bach is much harder to interpret and play than JS! If you find Carl's sonatas easy, you're not playing them properly. They need rhetorical pauses, intricate phrasing. Read his Versuch then get back to me.
I totally agree with you. At his age, most composers simplified the left hand job, it is incredible when you can virtually play a sonata at first score view. Then, you return to his father and Gosh! Takes 1 month to play a Fugue of 2 min and a half. With C. Ph. Em Bach one can play easily a song of 8 minutes.
Another piece that is over-dominated by the right hand. But yes Prussian Sonatas like the one you played are quite exciting. I never get so clear about CPE Bach, I mean he is classical-ish, but then for instance the Cello concerto (in A) is in retunello form.

They are indeed overlooked masterpieces.
