Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, the capital
of the duchy of Saxe-Eisenach, in present-day Germany,
on 21 March 1685 O.S. (31 March 1685 N.S.). He was the
son of Johann Ambrosius Bach, the director of the town
musicians, and Maria Elisabeth Lämmerhirt. The second
surviving son of J.S. Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel was
the most innovative and idiosyncratic member of an
extremely talented musical family. His music, unlike
that of his father or that of the master he influenced,
Haydn, did not define an era so much as reveal a deeply
personal response to the musical conventions of his
time. C.P.E. Bach could play his father's technically
demanding keyboard pieces at sight by the time he was
seven. Also an exceptional student in areas other than
music, he enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1731
to study law, then transferred to the University of
Frankfurt an der Oder. He graduated in 1734, but
remained in that backwater town giving keyboard
lessons, involving himself in public concerts, and
learning the composer's craft
The Trio Sonata in D Minor (BWV 1036) has been
questioned as to it's authorship but scholars believe
that it was composed in 1731, when C.P.E. Bach was
around 17 years old and revised in 1747, when Bach was
around 33.
Although originally written for 2 Violins & continuo, I
created this Arrangement of the Trio Sonata in D Minor
(BWV 1036) for Solo Pipe Organ (2 Manuals w/o Pedals).
