C.P.E. Bach Sonata in E Major
A nice Sonata by C.P.E. Bach (J.S.B.'s second musical son), the Prussian Sonata Number 3. This is a fairly early work, but one that announces his Galant/Classical style.

This "little" Handel Suite was no doubt composed when he was in Italy, before going to England where he composed the 8 "big" suites. I first recorded the Saraband 6 years ago; I tried it this time a bit faster. The three dances go well together in any case.

François Couperin, three pieces from his Douzième Ordre, the last ordre in Book Two of his harpsichord pieces (1716-1717). The three are : La Galante, La Boulonoise, and L'Atalante. Each is characteristic of Couperin's different compositional styles, and the three make a good (short) series for concerts.

      I'd say not if you consider that g to be a resolution of 7-6. Basically if you imagine the D to have A suspended under it. 7-6 on grade 6 is extremely common in baroque music as well. And that's how my mind hears in this case.

    Would it be possible for Bach to have taken the anacrusis and the first beat and fit it into his own Courante in Partita 2?

    • @richardsiegelclavecin
      @richardsiegelclavecin Місяць тому

      That sort of upbeat (or anacrusis) was pretty common at the time; I doubt that Bach would have needed the idea. We also can't really know if Bach knew about Handel's suites at the time ... Then again, he did look at a lot of music. Who knows?

      Sorry to disagree ... Bach never wrote for piano, and his compositions are definitely for baroque instruments. Yes, there are a few pianists who play Bach well, but I prefer a good harpsichordist.
