Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, (born March 8, 1714, Weimar,
Saxe-Weimar [Germany]—died Dec. 14, 1788, Hamburg), a
second surviving son of J.S. Bach and his wife Maria
Barbara Bach, and the leading composer of the early
Classical period. A precocious musician who remained
successful.
Recent J. S. Bach research has given rise to the theory
that in this the Sonata in F Major (BWV1022), the bass
is from another hand and that both sonatas are the
results of compositional experiments. But while
Bach’s authorship of the violin sonata is
ascertained, a number of theories have arisen regarding
the trio sonata: the work is often held to have been
written not by Bach but by one of his composition
pupils, whereby Bach’s son Carl Philipp Emanuel has
been repeatedly advanced for several reasons. Such
speculations have been nurtured by the fact that Johann
Sebastian Bach’s copy of the parts of the trio
contains no mention of the composer; strictly speaking,
the traditional attribution of the work to Bach is
based solely on his authorship of the parts. On the
other hand, the copy (albeit a late one) of the F major
version BWV 1022 unequivocally ascribes the work to
Johann Sebastian Bach.
Although originally written for Violin & continuo , I
created this Arrangement of the Sonata in F Major (BWV
1022) for Woodwind Trio (Flute, Oboe & Bassoon).
