Allegro assai Anner Bylsma, CelloOrchestra of the Age of Enlightenment/Gustav Leonhardt================================Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (March 8, 1714 -- December 14, 1788) was a German musician and composer, the second of five sons of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach. He was one of the founders of the Classical style, composing in the Rococo and Classical periods.Life and worksCarl Philipp Emanuel Bach was born in Weimar, Germany.When he was ten years old he entered the St. Thomas School at Leipzig, where his father had become cantor in 1723, and continued his education as a student of jurisprudence at the universities of Leipzig (1731) and of Frankfurt (Oder) (1735). In 1738, at the age of 24, he took his degree, but at once abandoned his prospects of a legal career and determined to devote himself to music.A few months later (armed with a recommendation by Sylvius Leopold Weiss) he obtained an appointment in the service of Frederick II of Prussia ("Frederick the Great"), the then crown prince, and upon Frederick's accession in 1740 Carl Philipp became a member of the royal orchestra. He was by this time one of the foremost clavier-players in Europe, and his compositions, which date from 1731, include about thirty sonatas and concert pieces for harpsichord and clavichord.In Berlin he continued to write numerous musical pieces for solo keyboard, including a series of character pieces- the so-called "Berlin Portraits" including La Caroline.His reputation was established by the two sets of sonatas which he dedicated respectively to Frederick the Great and to the grand duke of Württemberg; in 1746 he was promoted to the post of chamber musician, and for twenty-two years shared with Carl Heinrich Graun, Johann Joachim Quantz, and Johann Gottlieb Naumann the continued favour of the king.During his residence in Berlin, he wrote a fine setting of the Magnificat (1749), in which he shows more traces than usual of his father's influence; an Easter cantata (1756); several symphonies and concerted works; at least three volumes of songs; and a few secular cantatas and other occasional pieces. But his main work was concentrated on the clavier, for which he composed, at this time, nearly two hundred sonatas and other solos, including the set Mit veränderten Reprisen (1760-1768) and a few of those für Kenner und Liebhaber. Meanwhile he placed himself in the forefront of European critics by his Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen, a systematic and masterly treatise which by 1780 had reached its third edition, and which laid the foundation for the methods of Muzio Clementi and Johann Baptist Cramer.In 1768 Bach succeeded Georg Philipp Telemann (his godfather) as Kapellmeister at Hamburg, and in consequence of his new office began to turn his attention more towards church music. The next year he produced his oratorio Die Israeliten in der Wüste (The Israelites in the Desert), a composition remarkable not only for its great beauty but for the resemblance of its plan to that of Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah, and between 1768 and 1788 wrote twenty-one settings of the Passion, and some seventy cantatas, litanies, motets, and other liturgical pieces. At the same time, his genius for instrumental composition was further stimulated by the career of Joseph Haydn. He died in Hamburg on December 14, 1788.Legacy and musical styleThrough the latter half of the 18th century, the reputation of C.P.E. Bach stood very high. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart said of him, "He is the father, we are the children."[citation needed] The best part of Joseph Haydn's training was derived from a study of his work. Ludwig van Beethoven expressed for his genius the most cordial admiration and regard.[citation needed] This position he owes mainly to his keyboard sonatas, which mark an important epoch in the history of musical form. Lucid in style, delicate and tender in expression, they are even more notable for the freedom and variety of their structural design; they break away altogether from both the Italian and the Viennese schools, moving instead toward the cyclical and improvisatory forms that would become common several generations later.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Philipp_Emanuel_Bach================================*Note:Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.

Gainsborough Connections: Prof. Abel and Bach
"Professor Abel", painted ca. 1777 by Thomas Gainsborough (oil on canvas), is an homage to his friend. Shown are some of the elements that first got my attention. The painting is in The Huntington Art Gallery collection,Karl Friedrich Abel (December 22, 1723 -- June 20, 1787) was a German composer of the Classical era, spanning the life-time of Jean B, Russeau. He was a fine player on the viola da gamba, and composed important music for that instrument. Abel was born in Cöthen, the son of Christian Ferdinand Abel, the principal viola da gamba and cello player in the court orchestra of Johann Sebastian Bach. It was on Bach's recommendation that in 1748 he was able to join Johann Adolph Hasse's court orchestra at Dresden where remained for 10 years. In 1759 he went to England, and became chamber-musician to Queen Charlotte. He gave a concert of his own compositions in London, performing on various instruments, one of which, the pentachord, was newly invented. He was a boy pupil of J.S. Bach, who in turn was a god-father to one of Abel's children. Professor Abel occupied a unique position in the history of music. With Johann Christian Bach, he co-managed, performed and composed for one of the most successful concert organizations in London during the late 18th century. From 1765 to 1782, the popular Bach-Abel series was his principal venue, yet the instrument on which his fame rested as a performer was by then universally considered to be old-fashioned and out-of-date. Few amateurs and even fewer professionals were attracted to the viola da gamba after the close of the Baroque period. However, the music which Abel played on these concerts was anything but out-of-date. The 'Prelude' on this recording, played on a viola da gamba by John Dornenburg, is an example; it was taken from a manuscript (New York Public Library, Drexel 5871) containing thirty pieces thought to represent the style of Abel's solo improvisations.Adendum by HARMONICO101Actually the main reason that the instrument fell into oblivion was becuase it's sound was not loud enough for concert halls. In the baroque and renaissance, most musical performances occured in the home, small theatres, churches, or the palaces of the nobility. Towards the end of the 18th century nad into the 19th century, performances moved from the chambers of the rich to the concert halls. The viola da gamba was not loud enought to be heard effectively and didn't fit well into an orchestra.Thank you Martins de Sa for the "palhinha" and Harmonico, for the clarification.------------------------------------------Thomas Gainsborough (Britanico, 1727-1788) pintou em ca. 1777 um óleo sobre tela que chamou "Professor Abel", uma homenagem ao seu amigo. EA belissima viola da gamba mostrada no video foi um dos primeiros elementos que me chamou a atenção no quadro, em exposicao na Galeira de Arte do Huntington, San Marino.Karl Friedrich Abel (n 1723 - m 1787) foi um compositor alemão da era clássica, abrangendo o período de vida do filosofo e compositor Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Abel, que tocava muito bem a viola da gamba, compos músicas para esse importante instrumento. Nascido em Cöthen, Alemanha, era filho de Christian Ferdinand Abel, que foi o tocador principal de viola da gamba e violãocelo da orquestra do grande Johann Sebastian Bach. Por recomendação de Bach, em 1748 ele se uniu a orquestra de Johann Adolph Hasse em Dresden onde permaneceu por 10 anos.Em 1759 Abel foi para a Inglaterra, onde se tornou músico de câmara da Rainha Charlotte. Abel deu concertos de suas próprias composições em Londres, realizandos em diferentes instrumentos, um dos quais o "pentachord" (cinco cordas), recentemente inventado. Ainda garoto, foi aluno de Johann.S. Bach, que por sua vez era padrinho de um de seus filhos.O professor Abel ocupou uma posição única na história da música. Com Johann Christian Bach, o decimo primeiro e filho mais jovem de Johann Sebastian Bach, ele co-gerenciou, realizou e compos uma das mais bem sucedidas organizações de concertos em Londres durante o final do século 18. De 1765 a 1782, a série popular Bach-Abel foi muito ouvida pelo publico local, mas o instrumento em que a sua fama repousa como tocador estava então a ser universalmente considerado antiquado, fora de epoca!. Poucos amadores e mesmo profissionais foram atraidos para a viola da gamba após o encerramento do período barroco. No entanto, a música que Abel executava nesses concertos, foi tudo menos algo que "ja' era"!.O "Preludio" que ouvimos, foi composto pelo professor Abel, aqui tocado por John Dornenburg numa viola da gamba. O professor Abel foi o ultimo a compor trabalhos para a viola de gamba!.Dedicada a todos que apreciam o violãocelo e a viola da gamba. [ More Detail ]

The song is called Seaside BandArthur Askey the Godfather of hip hop? Indeed, tis' the ultimate ironySeaside BandOnce, at the seaside, feeling very restlessI ran down tuppence and I rolled on the pier Hadn't gone far when the strains of musicFloated on the breeze and landed in my earI quickened up me steps for I love nice noises Very soon arrived right opposite the bandSaw the conductor on a lemonade boxWith his little baton stuck up in his right handOne two three four, off went the cornetFive six seven eight, the fiddles followed tooA man in the corner playing on the piccoloKeeping time with the sole of his bootRight behind him was a fellow with the tromboneBlowing like the devil with his cheeks out wideWorking so hard that both his little eyeballsLeft their sockets and stood outsideHanging on a rostrum, a drummer, very lonelyDrums all round like bees in a swarmLooking very cold with his nose quite scarletBanging on the cymbals to keep himself warmOpposite to him was the man with the toupeeSpitting down a reed - what a nasty man!Sitting next to him was a fellow with a French hornFull of soul and bitter beer, tuppence on the can Fellow with a cello, boom boom boom boomTrying very hard to saw it in twoHis pal with the double bass, cuddling it fondlyLooking like a camel with a dose of the fluMan with a piccolo, fed up with the dancingSick and tired of hearing the same old tootThought he'd like a change so he put it down beside himAnd then started messing with a full size fluteMan with the bassoon, nothing on his musicActed like a mute, never said a wordJust as I thought he was going to fall asleepHe picked up his bassoon and gave us all.... the....... birdThat's all there is here but the rest of the song goes like this.........Then a little man with walrus whiskersHow he got his breath, well I don't knowFound he got his fungus stuffed up the mouthpiece And wondered why he couldn't play his little oboe Man with the trombone lost his temperThought they could not hear him and said, 'Here goes'Took a long breath and threw all of his false teeth Right on the bridge of the conductor's noseThen the conductor, getting very angryRaised his other hand, with a rum-tum-tumCaused such a draught that the man with the harp Went clean through the air and fell through the drumBang bang bang went the man with the cymbalsToodle-oodle-oo went the flute so gayFiddles and violas screaming like the windAnd the cornet broke his promise, trying to reach top A What a pandemonium everybody differentEach with the other one, trying to competeStrange to relate it must've been a flukeBut they all finished dead on the same down-beatI Thang You [ More Detail ]
