	Wilhelm Friedemann Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, in a portrait by Wilhelm Weitsch
		Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (November 22, 1710 – July 1, 1784) was the eldest, and by common repute the most gifted son, of Johann Sebastian Bach; a famous organist, a famous improvisor, and a complete master of counterpoint.

		Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (1732-1795), the eldest surviving son of J.S. Bach and his second wife; an outstanding virtuoso at the keyboard; wrote mostly in a similar style to his famous father, though hinting toward the galant style made famous by his brothers C.P.E. Bach and J.C. Bach.
		Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782), one of the most versatile composers of the second half of the 18th century; like his brother C.P.E. Bach, he was strongly associated with the galant style in music; important in establishing a regular series of public concerts in London.
		Bach was also paid for repairing the harpsichords in some of the noble households.

		Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710-84), Sebastian’s eldest son, became a rather tragic figure, abruptly abandoning his organist’s position in Halle in 1764 and never again holding a formal post, reduced to recycling his own music and plagiarizing his father’s.
		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).
		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.

	J.S. Bach Tuning
		If the third-hand account by Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg [7] is taken at face value: namely, that Kirnberger was expressly required by Bach to tune all the thirds sharp, then both Temperaments I and II must be rejected as invalid options.
		Moreover, it is possible, that Wilhelm Friedemann may have used the simpler procedure of tuning the thirds justly, while his father adopted the expedient of tuning the thirds wide.
		These systems were determined under the assumption that BWV 924 was explicitly constructed by Johann Sebastian Bach to provide a pedagogic tuning aid for his young son, Wilhelm Friedemann; the purpose being to serve as a reminder of lessons already taught.

		Barrell is an accomplished clavichordist, having made something of a specialty of it, and he proves himself an ardent, thoughtful and persuasive advocate of these engaging pieces.
		I like his reflective approach to the minor-key polonaises which, according to Friedrich Griepenkerl, who became an assidious promoter of JS Bach's music during the early nineteenth century, should be played more slowly than the major-key ones.
		But let me hasten to assure you that there is not a dull piece among them and that Friedemann's inspiration is seldom apparent at so consistently an elevated level as it is in these inventive, sometimes profoundly expressive compositions.

	BACH Klavierbüchlein for WF Bach. Payne (Hanssler) - INKPOT
		In addition to the Clavier-Büchlein for his wife Anna Magdalena, Johann Sebastian Bach also prepared a musical notebook for his son Wilhelm Friedemann.
		As the kapellmeister, Bach was right at the top of the musical hierarchy: composing, conducting, teaching and fairly well-paid for it, and from his point of view, it was surely not a difficult job.
		Unlike the AMB Clavier-Büchlein, the Notebook for Wilhelm Friedemann was not used for domestic entertainment, but for a relatively advanced instruction in the rudiments of keyboard technique, including ornamental practice.

		Here is where the musical genuis of Wilhelm is most evident as this fugue shows him to be a very good pupil of his father, except that it is made all the more interesting by some shocking harmonic side-steps.

		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.
		Friedemann (yes, Friedemann!, who also had studied law) handled the legal interests of CPE in the division of the estate, because CPE wasn't there.
		According to a report made after Bach's death, the number of musical performances was almost 200 a year - a difficult task for a small choral establishment consisting of pupils from the Johanneum and a few professional singers.

		Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, writing in 1776, related that J. Bach had confided his tuning method to a pupil, Kirnberger, who was expressly required to tune all the thirds sharp [3] [7].
		Returning now to Figure 2 and keeping in mind the hypothesis that the trills embody a meaning for tuning purposes, it is observed that the trills are of two different kinds: the first four are mordants, while the latter is a, so-called, doppelt cadence u.

		Such a table as this, coming from the hand of the great J.S. Bach himself, is obviously valuable for the help it gives us in interpreting the signs he used for ornaments.
		This is not really the place for a detailed discussion of the controversy that surrounds some of the finer points of Baroque ornamentation, such as whether a trill should begin on the principal note or the upper auxiliary.
		C.P.E. Bach's authority on these matters has been much disputed, but the fact that his own music is very different from his father's, and the shift that musical idioms underwent after Sebastian's death, do not necessarily invalidate the application of ornamentation rules from Emanuel's famous Essay to the music of Sebastian.
