Emanuel Bach Keyboard Concerto in G minor Wq. 32 (H. 442)

ChatGPT4o writes as follows (please note that it may not be accurate):

Emanuel Bachʼs Keyboard Concerto in G minor Wq. 32 (H. 442) is a concerto dominated by the dark and dramatic character of G minor. The first movement begins with a calm yet nuanced theme, showcasing a delicate interplay between the keyboard and the orchestra. Despite its gentle tempo, the movement is marked by an atmosphere of tension. The second movement is introspective, richly reflecting the characteristics of the Empfindsamer Stil, with the solo instrument delivering a delicate expression. Poetic and lyrical melodies invite the listener into a deeply meditative world. The third movement is structured as a rhythmic and lively finale, with energetic melodies and vivid development leaving a strong impression. In this movement, while maintaining the dramatic character of G minor, brightness and dynamism are added, leading to a fitting conclusion for the entire piece. This work is one of Emanuel Bachʼs masterpieces, where his technique and sensibility are beautifully fused.

According to the commentary by Jane R. Stevens on Miklós Spányi's CD (BIS-CD-786) (translated by ChatGPT4o):
The G minor concerto H. 442/Wq. 32 was composed the year after Bachʼs ʼEssay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instrumentsʼ was published. By this time, Bach seemed to have started considering a broader audience. The second movement of this work shares many similarities with H. 418/Wq. 15, but the "serious" characteristics found in the first movements of other pieces in this collection are absent here. The most striking part is once again the final movement, a brisk dance where the soloist and tutti collaborate in a manner sometimes reminiscent of a comedic routine.
