Sonata in C minor
“Sanguineus und Melancholicus“ Wq 161,1, 1749
C. P. E. Bach's Trio Sonata, composed in Potsdam in 1749 and published in 1751, attracted the keen attention of his contemporaries. The sonata is a musical conversation between two characters - the optimistic Sanguineus and the plaintive Melancholicus. Their intense dialog extends over the first two movements until they finally make peace and continue in harmonious unity in the third movement.

Composer
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
| 1714-1788Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788) was an extremely prolific composer who enjoyed a high reputation during his lifetime with the result that his music became known far and wide. The early works were influenced by the Berlin School. In his later works, however, this composer developed a thoroughly individual style, independent of contemporary fashions, which is to be found especially in the sacred vocal works written during his years as Director of Music in Hamburg (1768–1788).
