  Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788)
C.P.E. Bach was born in Weimar, Germany on March 8, 1714 as the second surviving son of Johann Sebastian Bach and his first wife Maria Barbara.
C.P.E. Bach believed in the new aesthetic ideals of his time which demanded that music "touch the heart" and "awaken the passions." His works were daring for their time, and some were even considered bizarre by his contemporaries.
While C.P.E. Bach's progressive and uniquely individual style was most pronounced in his keyboard Sonatas and certain Symphonies, his Concertos for various instruments also contain many features that seize the attention of the listener with their great originality.

 Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (March 8, 1714 – December 14, 1788) was a German musician and composer, the second of eleven sons of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach.
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was born in Weimar.
When he was ten years old he entered the St. Thomas School at Leipzig, of which in 1723 his father had become cantor, and continued his education as a student of jurisprudence at the universities of Leipzig (1731) and of Frankfurt (Oder) (1735).

 A Tribute to C.P.E. Bach
Undoubtedly the child of Bach who made the most of both the advantages and the handicaps of being a son of Sebastian was Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-88).
Emanuel Bach became so well known throughout Europe that he was often referred to as the Hamburg Bach (to distinguish him from his brother the London Bach--Johann Christian, who was now music master to the Queen of England).
Unfortunately, the largest share of Sebastian Bach’s autographs had been given after his death to his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann, due to whose negligence most of the scores he inherited have been irrecoverably lost.

There is an extraordinary range of expression presented by C. Bach: try the quasi-orchestral sonorities of the Allegro di molto finale of the Sonata in E minor, H13 (); or the seemingly improvisatory gestures of the opening movement of the B flat Sonata, H51 ().

 Bach and Ornamentation
In the Bach literature Scheibe has been accused of writing with rancour because Bach had prevented his appointment as organist at the Nikolaikirche; there is no evidence to support such a petty view, and it is clear elsewhere in the Critische Musikus that Scheibe had a genuine admiration and respect for Bach.
Bach, in contrast with most of his contemporaries, wrote out in full note values a level of detail (the notes themselves) that was uncommon: melodic ornamentation that other composers more readily left to the improvisational skills of the performers.
Bach wasn't worried if the polyphonic potential wasn't fully realized on paper in a condensed notation- he knew it existed and trusted that there were people who would perceive it.

 Bach's Education - Part 2
CPE's record on accurately describing history, particular his own or his father's (the deathbed note in CPE's hand that his father died just as he had stopped in the middle of a composition which he left unfinished) is certainly open to question.
It says: "At the same time [WF] Bach was teaching JG Goldberg, and continuing the study of mathematics he had begun in Leipzig under Johann Gottlieb Waltz (later court mathematician and Kommissionsrat)." That sentence, obviously, is unclear as to whether Waltz taught in Leipzig or Dresden.

I believe that CPE Bach's career temperament was the same as his father's.
For the hypothesis that CPE was describing the same all-purpose temperament his father used, the stronger corroboration is done here by playing through CPE Bach's own music, and the other music he knew at court.
I have a further hypothesis that the 1722 Bach temperament, or at least something with the same shape (may we call it the "brook" shape?), remained CPE Bach's career temperament: and was also the ordinary temperament at the royal court during his tenure there.

 BBC - Classical Review - CPE Bach: Sonatas and Rondos, Mikhail Pletnev
Music was changing fast in the late 18th century, and C.P.E. is sometimes referred to dismissively as 'pre-classical', as though his music still had one foot anchored in the baroque world of his father, or that his ideas weren't quite fully realised.
In fact, conversation is at the heart of this music; C.P.E. Bach was a university man, an intellectual, a friend of poets, professors and writers - this music almost literally talks to us, with rhythms and intonation closer to speech than more orthodox music.
Some critics are going to feel that Pletnev goes over the top, particularly given the modern instrument, but I can't help thinking that Bach junior would have been thrilled if he heard this; he was testing the limits of the instrument he knew, and it sounds as if Pletnev's doing exactly the same.

CPE Bach, almost an exact contemporary of Leopold Mozart, is always praised for anticipating new orientations in music, incorporating innovations with tradition, and all in his very personal style.
In addition to the familiar string techniques documented as early as 1654, CPE Bach in 1753 suggests the technique on the clavichord: "The finger holds down the key and rocks it so to speak".
The same music was used by Bach in instrumental works and as obligato movements in the sacred cantatas, blurring the lines between his secular and sacred and his vocal and instrumental writing.

Mining the Bach archives is clearly a valuable musical enterprise, just as mining the works of his sons, CPE in particular, is proving to be.
All you need to know is that Bach's father preserved the manuscripts, both he and Bach himself loved this music, Bach's son CPE loved it equally well, and that while it is to a degree early and precursor JS Bach, it is actually more clearly post-Schutz.
The album includes an extremely helpful diagrammed genealogy of the Bach family, on down through JS Bach's sons, which is a great help if you don't have your Christoph Wolff at hand.
