The links below take you to music examples for my book The Music of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (University of Rochester Press). Included are both examples in the printed book and a greater number of examples that are available only here. For technical reasons, the examples for each chapter are gathered into pdf files; some of these are fairly large (about 20 MB). Readers may wish to download each file prior to reading the relevant chapter. For additional information about the examples and how to view or listen to them, please scroll down.

Within these files, the caption for each example is linked to a synthesized audio version of the example. Clicking on the captions of the examples should bring you to the audio versions. If the links to the audio files do not work, you may need to copy the url for each example from the pdf file into your browser and open each audio file from the latter.

Images within each file can be expanded by using your software’s zoom commands, on a PC typically control-plus and control-minus.
