This collection emphasizes the dialogic roles of keyboard and string instruments, characterized by sophisticated harmonic progressions and emotionally rich melodies.
“Wq. 114” encapsulates the charm of Emanuel Bachʼs unique “Empfindsamer Stil,” with a delicate lyricism in the slow movements and a lively dynamism in the fast movements, skillfully combined. Each piece has its own distinct personality, requiring performers to engage in technical challenges and deep musical interpretation. This collection is an important testament to Emanuel Bachʼs pursuit of innovation while inheriting the tradition of his father, Sebastian Bach, and is a must-hear repertoire for fans of both keyboard music and chamber music.
