Emanuel Bach Sonata in B-flat Major "Prussian Sonata No. 2" (Sonata in B-flat Major) Wq. 48-2 (H. 25)

ChatGPT4o writes as follows (please note that it may not be accurate):
Emanuel Bachʼs Prussian Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Major, Wq. 48-2 (H. 25), is one of the works dedicated to "King Frederick II of Prussia," published in 1742, characterized by its rich sound in B-flat major. The first movement progresses in a lively tempo in sonata form, highlighting the clarity of the themes and their exquisite development. The second movement is marked by a slow tempo, with deep lyricism and delicate harmonies that leave a strong impression. In this movement, the nuances of emotion and the beauty of ornamentation stand out, showcasing the characteristics of the empfindsamer Stil (sensitive style). The third movement features a light rhythm and bright character, incorporating dance-like, approachable elements. This sonata is a representative work from the period when Emanuel Bachʼs compositional technique had matured, making full use of the expressive power of keyboard instruments.
