Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714 - 1788), was a German Classical period
musician and composer, the fifth child and second (surviving) son of
Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach. C. P. E. Bach was an
influential composer working at a time of transition between his
father's baroque style and the classical and romantic styles that
followed it. His personal approach, an expressive and often turbulent
one known as empfindsamer Stil or 'sensitive style', applied the
principles of rhetoric and drama to musical structures. Bach's dynamism
stands in deliberate contrast to the more mannered gallant style also
then in vogue. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library
