Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Composer

Author: Nicholas Anderson
In these fascinating sonatas for two flutes Bach’s eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, upholds the family reputation for fluent counterpoint. Dating from the 1760s or early 1770s they reflect a lively interest among Berlin composers in learned, yet entertaining, two-part contrapuntal texture. The performances bring out the music’s subtlety and charm.'
