Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: a guide to research

Although he is the son of J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach is an important composer in his own right, this long-awaited annotated bibliography presents a complete listing of the works of C.P.E. Bach. This volume in the Routledge Music Bibliographies series includes many different aspects of his work: the editing of his father's masterpieces, his concertos and sonatas and theoretical essays. Doris Powers also collects writings that consider C.P.E. Bach's influence, the reception of his works and the cultural milieu in which Bach composed.
