C.P.E. Bach: Solo Keyboard Music, Vol. 9

C.P.E. Bach: Solo Keyboard Music, Vol. 9
Composed in 1765–66 and published as Six Sonates pour le Clavecin à l’usage des Dames, these works were intended for cultivated amateurs, yet they reach far beyond mere domestic charm. In their galant clarity and songful melodic writing, they anticipate the more concentrated style of Bach’s later Hamburg sonatas. Transparent textures, elegantly ornamented themes, and the frequent use of varied reprises lend the music both immediacy and refinement, while sudden harmonic turns and expressive dissonances hint at the empfindsam depth beneath the surface grace. Though modest in scale, the sonatas demand sensitivity to nuance rather than virtuoso display. Miklós Spányi responds with a finely shaded touch, allowing the clavichord’s supple, intimate voice to illuminate the music’s quicksilver contrasts and cantabile lines. The instrument’s gentle resonance and subtle dynamic inflection enhance the lyrical, inward character of these works, revealing them as poised miniatures of remarkable expressive sophistication.
