Johann Christian Bach Johann Sebastian Bach Haydn Rondeau Clementi Hanover Band 1735 1762 1777 1782 1912
Johann Christian Bach (September 5, 1735 – January 1, 1782) was a German composer of the Classical era, the eighteenth child of Johann Sebastian Bach, and the youngest of his eleven sons. After a spell in Italy, Bach moved to London in 1762, where he became known as "the London Bach". He is also sometimes known as "the English Bach", and during his time spent living in the British capital, he came to be known as John Bach. He is noted for playing a role in influencing the concerto styles of Haydn and Mozart. He contributed significantly to the development of the new sonata principle.

Rondeau: Allegro (37:33) Anthony Halstead, fortepiano & the Hanover Band Details by Susan Alexander-Max: Johann Christian’s music was widely heard in London and his position as the English Bach won increasing recognition, ensuring him the greatest success of the musical Bach family during his lifetime. Greatly influenced by his studies in Italy and in Italian style, he became known as the master of the galant. This was a term applied to the style that developed in the latter half of the eighteenth century, suggesting a return to classical simplicity after the complexity of the late Baroque era. In very simple terms, it meant simpler music, with less ornamentation, more importance placed on the melody, and less on the bass line. The phrases tended to be of regular length, and the harmonic vocabulary emphasized principally the tonic and dominant. It was, in many ways, a reaction against the more elaborate and pretentious Baroque style. Johann Christian’s ability to make the new fortepiano his own won even more favour in public circles. Indeed, whilst Clementi was still performing on the old harpsichord in London, Johann Christian was charming his audiences with the new keyboard. Composed in the 1770s, his keyboard concertos represent some of the best examples of all his keyboard works and incorporate all that was admired in their day. All in three movements, the traditional fast – slow – fast, they are stylish and elegant, graceful and galant. Johann Christian wooed his audiences using the grace and charm of the Italian style whilst involving and intertwining the folk elements of his adoptive country. How better to please the Queen! The Concerto in D major, Op.13, No.2, is the second of a set of six piano concertos published in 1777, under the title: “A Third Sett of Six Concertos for the Harpsichord, or PianoForte. With Accompaniments for two Violins and a Bass, two Hautboys and two French Horns ad Libitum. Humbly Dedicated to Mrs. Pelham and composed by John Christian Bach Music Master to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain”. It was the custom in all of his concertos for the pianoforte to play the figured bass in orchestral pasages. This means that the piano is playing throughout: it plays the figured bass to accompany the orchestra as well as its own solo part.
