Empfindsamer Stil

Creator:

Description: 

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1712-1788) composed in a very expressive, sensitive style called "empfindsamer Stil." It is characterized by sudden dynamic changes, large intervals and the use of silence. A great example of that is found in the Poco Adagio movement of CPE Bach's solo flute Sonata in A minor. This excerpt of the opening phrase is demonstrated on an eighteenth century style traverso.
