Johann Christian Bach, the youngest son of the great Johann Sebastian, went into history as the “English Bach”. He became one of the most important musicians and composers in London the 2nd half of the 18th century, ultimately gaining the desirable post of music master of the Queen.
Johann Christian was the embodiment of the “Galante Stil”, graceful, tuneful and brilliant music composed to entertain and please. Mozart was a great admirer of him, and transcribed some of his sonatas as mini piano concertos.
Johann Christian introduced the fortepiano as the new instrument “en vogue”, rather than the old fashioned harpsichord.
Bart van Oort, a specialist on the fortepiano with an international reputation, plays these sonatas with scintillating clearness and charm, on a copy of a Walther fortepiano from 1795.
New recordings, excellent liner notes written by musicologist Sylvia Berry.
