Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, one of JS Bach's 20 children, was a great composer in his own right and his music provides a fascinating link between that of his father and - looking ahead - to that of Haydn and Mozart. Though his father was his only teacher his music is distinctively different, with a definite emphasis on melody, occasional edgy shifts and changes of direction.
