 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).
J.S. Bach’s works have appeared in the monumental Bach-Gesellschaft edition (1851-99) and the Neue Bach-Ausgabe (1954- ), while Mozart’s music was collected in Breitkopf und Härtel’s Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Werke, Kritisch durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe (1877-83, supplements to 1910), now known as the Alte Mozart-Ausgabe to distinguish it from its successor, the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (1955-).

 Notes on in D major, Wq. 215 (Helm 772) (1749)
Bach, godson of Telemann and second son of Johann Sebastian Bach, was so torn between music and a legal career that he spent 1731—38 pursuing both simultaneously.
It is interesting to note that Emanuel was referred to as “the great” Bach after his father’s death in 1750—history has since reversed that judgement, and today the younger composer has been largely eclipsed by his father’s greatness.

 Reinhard Goebel & Musica Antiqua Koln - Bachiana
And I wonder what the J. Bach "Concerto in D" that is listed with no BWV or BC number is.
My favourites are the works from Johann Ludwig Bach : the opening Ouverture in G major,with its seducing menuet and its impudent gavotte, could be consiterated as the "5th" Orchestral suite.The concerto in D-dur for 2 violins is also very beautiful in a surprising Vivaldi style!
As regards the Concerto D-dur after BWV 249 I have 2 preminent considerations : the first is the regret for the fact that MAK recorded few cantatas (and when they did it, they had a bad vocal distribution: see their secular cantatas) ; their playing here is absolutely perfect, brighty and exciting.
