Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (17101784) was the eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach and an influential composer and keyboardist in his own right. He was known for his virtuosic improvisations and is credited with creating the genre of chamber music for two keyboards.
W.F. Bach was a master of the Baroque style and his music has been called strikingly modern. His keyboard works are full of brilliant ornamentation, vivid rhythms, and intense emotion. He wrote several sonatas for two keyboards, which are some of his most renowned works. These duets feature both players working in tandem to create a unified whole. W.F. Bach's pieces are highly inventive, often exploring new ideas in harmony, form, and rhythm.
W.F. Bach was an important contributor to the Baroque style and to the development of keyboard music. His influence is still felt today in the works of composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. His two-keyboard duets remain some of the most exciting and engaging pieces of the Baroque era.
