Sonata en la mineur - C P E Bachi. Poco Adagio *iii Allegro
The second son of the great Johann Sebastian Bach by his first wife, CPE Bach was recognised as one of the greatest harpsichordists of his time. He was greatly respected both as a composer and as a friend of some of the most distinguished writers and thinkers of his time. From his very considerable output his sonatas for flute and harpsichord remain an attractive part of chamber-music repertoire. 'L'Etang' from Two Rhapsodies - Charles Martin LoefflerLoeffler was a fastidious composer who composed carefully, frequently revising his compositions. The Two Rhapsodies for oboe and viola are a revision of 2 of the 3 movements of the Rhapsodies for voice, clarinet, viola, and piano which are rescored by the composer. Because these works were originally song settings of tone poems by Maurice Rollinat, there is a clear sense of narrative throughout, including the ponds croaking toads. |
