  • My sweet dear, please do look into play the wooden flute for all music written for this period. the same for the piano.

    the bassoon saves it. Otherwise it is nothing more than hospital music coming from everywhere and no where.

  • Well, to each his own. It seems to me that if played on a modern flute, it should be accompanied by a modern piano. I love wooden flutes, but I don't plan to stop playing centuries' worth of music until I can afford to buy one. :)

    Wooden flute is just lovely - Barthold Kuijken is a favorite of mine for the style.

    And while I have changed some of my ideas on style since this recording, I think that playing this music on modern instruments is a perfectly acceptable practice, if done mindfully.

  • Because there is no slow movement, I chose a slower tempo for the first to provide more contrast between the two movements.

    I believe it is usually played too fast - it should be light, and not frantic. It was a choice, and was done on purpose.

  • My apologies about 7:06 - nerves got the better of me!

  • Modern oboe and harpsichord sound great together. I've heard baroque oboes playing Saint-Saens and bands of baroque instruments playing the Beatles and Dixieland. So why not a baroque flute and piano? Whatever the instrument combination, if it sounds nice, more power to you!

  • Very nice rendition :o)

  • CPE Bach is actually from a period called the "Galante," which deliberately avoided a lot of things that were done in the Baroque era (such as extensive polyphony and excessive ornamentation) and focused on a melody, simply accompanied. This period contains people like CPE Bach, Christian Pezold, and the early piano works of Mozart. It was a reaction to the excesses of the Baroque era.

  • trust me bach was king of the baroque period

  • Acually good guess he is both baroque and Classical his style is Emphandsame stil

  • CPE Bach is from the classical era.

  • Can someone please tell me whether this piece is more baroque or classical? I'm trying to come up with a balanced program. Thanks!
