Asked ChatGPT4o: "Please provide examples of works by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach that use basso continuo."
Examples of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachʼs use of basso continuo (Basso Continuo) can be found in his chamber music and early sacred works. Below are some specific examples:
Sonatas for Harpsichord and Basso Continuo
Trio Sonatas
Magnificat (Wq. 215, H. 772)
Passions
As a composer transitioning from the late Baroque to the Classical period, C. P. E. Bach gradually reduced his use of basso continuo in his later works, moving toward more independent keyboard parts and orchestration. However, basso continuo is frequently present in his earlier compositions.
These works clearly reflect how Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach inherited Baroque styles while exploring new forms of musical expression.
