Editions of Music by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach<\/strong><\/p>\n

This\u00a0page offers\u00a0links to scores and audio files for\u00a0a number of\u00a0works that are not yet available otherwise or that are\u00a0singled out for special attention in my book on the composer’s music (The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach<\/em>, University of Rochester Press, 2010). Listed separately, at the end\u00a0of this page,\u00a0are additional pieces from a large manuscript whose contents, some of them unique, became available only after the publication of my book.<\/p>\n

Most of these scores\u00a0are accompanied by textual\u00a0commentaries of varying detail, but they are not intended to serve as critical editions\u00a0of the works in question. The audio\u00a0files are synthesized versions of the scores and do not represent actual performances of the works. These sound files ignore ornament signs and make all appoggiaturas short, placing them before the beat, contrary to eighteenth-century practice.<\/p>\n

Most of these compositions\u00a0are for solo keyboard; the concertos are for keyboard and strings, and one\u00a0work is a serenata or secular cantata for four voices and orchestra composed in 1758 in honor of King Frederick II \u201cthe Great\u201d of Prussia.<\/p>\n
