A Real Son of a Bach
Anyone interested in learning the rules of harmony, how notes and chords fit together, need look no further than the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. He invented most of those rules. So maybe it's only natural that one of the early rule-breakers was one of his own children, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. C.P.E. Bach respected his father, but took his own music off in several new directions. In today's show, a couple of works by C.P.E. Bach, from a recent concert in London.
