Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, the oldest Bach son, displayed a distinctive creative individualism in his output. His sonatas for solo keyboard instrument (harpsichord or fortepiano), which rank amongst his major works, shaped the development of the thenyoung genre and his posthumous reputation. With their oftencapricious melodies and harmony, improvisatory features, but also the combination of galant and contrapuntal stylistic ideals, the sonatas are a real discovery. All the sonatas for solo keyboard instrument plus the Concerto in F major for two harpsichords are published in five volumes as separate editions from the Wilhelm Friedemann Bach Complete Edition.
