Orchestral music played a significant role in the output of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. In his early years as a professional organist at the Sophienkirche in the Saxon capital Dresden (1733-1746), he developed his own unmistakable personal style in a series of ambitious concertos and sinfonias. The surviving body of W. F. Bach's sinfonias has been affected by considerable losses. The Sinfonia in D major (BR-WFB C-Inc. 16), published here for the first time, was attributed to both Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, however on stylistic grounds, it is more likely attributable to W. F. Bach. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3230500.

The Sinfonia in D major (BR-WFB C 8) was probably composed in the mid-1750s during Bach's tenure as organist and Director Musices in Halle. Evidence shows that it was used as the instrumental introduction to the Whitsun cantata Dies ist der Tag (BR-WFB F 13 / Fk 85). However, this is not a piece characterized by the church style, hence a separate performance in a secular context is not only possible, but was probably intended by the composer. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3230400.

Sinfonia and Caprice is comprised of two contrasting sections. Both sections are characterised by the arrangement of the eight voices into two four-part groups that play in dialogue with each other.The first, slow movement is a Sinfonia in the baroque sense?a majestic opening work. With its dotted rhythms and semiquaver runs, the movement is reminiscent of a French overture. The fast second movement, the Caprice, features an almost unbroken galloping rhythm. In this section an energetic main theme in a minor key plays in alternation with a lyrical subsidiary major theme. The work closes with a triumphant fanfare.

Het werk Sinfonia and Caprice bestaat uit twee contrasterende gedeelten. Het arrangement van beide delen wordt gekenmerkt door de verdeling van de acht partijen in twee groepen van vier, die in dialoog met elkaar spelen.Het eerste, langzame deel is een majestueuze sinfonia in barokke sfeer. Met zijn gepunteerde ritmes en loopjes van zestiende noten doet dit deel denken aan een Franse ouverture. Het snelle twee deel, de caprice, omvat een bijna onafgebroken galopritme. In dit deel wordt een energiek hoofdthema in mineur afgewisseld door een lyrisch ondergeschikt thema in majeur. De compositie wordt afgesloten met een glorierijke fanfare.

Sinfonia and Caprice besteht aus zwei kontrastierenden Teilen. Typisch für beide Teile ist die Aufteilung der acht Stimmen in zwei vierstimmige Gruppen, die miteinander im Dialog stehen.Der erste, langsame Satz ist eine Sinfonia im barocken Sinne, also ein majestätisches Eröffnungsstück. Mit seinen punktierten Rhythmen und Sechzehntelfolgen erinnert der Satz im Charakter an eine französische Ouvertüre. Der schnelle zweite Teil, die Caprice, weist einen fast unablässig durchlaufenden Galopp-Rhythmus auf. In diesem Satz wechselt sich ein markiertes Hauptthema in Moll mit einem lyrischen Seitenthema in Dur ab. Das Werk endet mit einem fanfarenartigen,triumphalen Schluss.

Sinfonia and Caprice se compose de deux parties contrastées. Celles-ci se caractérisent, lâ??une comme lâ??autre, par lâ??arrangement des huit voix en deux groupes de quatre qui jouent en dialogue.Le premier mouvement est une sinfonia au sens baroque du terme - une introduction lente et majestueuse. Avec ses rythmes pointés et ses lignes en doubles croches, ce mouvement fait penser une ouverture française. Le second mouvement, un caprice rapide, se distingue par un rythme galopant presque ininterrompu. Le thème principal en mineur est plutôt déterminé, alors quâ??un second thème lyrique en majeur se fait entendre en alternance. Lâ???uvre sâ??achèvesur une fanfare triomphante.
