Biography
Weimar, Germany (1714 – 1788)
The second of eleven sons of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach, C.P.E. Bach was born in Weimar on 8th March 1714. He was one of the founders of the Classical style, composing in the rococo and classical periods.
Through the latter half of the eighteenth century, his reputation was very high. This was mainly because of his clavier sonatas, which marked an important development in the history of musical form. Lucid in style, delicate and tender in expression, they are even more notable for the freedom and variety of their structural design; they break away altogether from the exact formal antithesis which, with the composers of the italian school, had hardened into convention, and substitute the wider and more flexible outline which the great viennese masters showed to be capable of almost infinite development.

i love the three pieces offered here for free but i have a rather dumb question: am i the only one who fails to hear a single note played on flute in the whole flute concerto? is it recording of flute concerto played on completely different instrument?

Great composer!

I'd never come across it until Last.fm, and the Internet generally. I'm fairly sure that it's not common in the U.K. -- is it U.S.?

I agree with the criticism of describing classical music (in the broad sense) erudite. But it is a common use of the word.
-
Grosseteste
What a self-congratulatory, smug, and inaccurate use of the word "erudite".... Music can't be erudite, and enjoying this or any kind of music doesn't require erudition. Nor need the composers or performers be erudite (the former sometimes were, the latter more rarely).

He could never outshine his father, despite calling him an old wig.

C P E Bach bridged the gap between the Baroque style of his father, J S Bach, and the Classical style of Haydn and Mozart.
