Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
(born 8th March 1714), is one
of the pioneers of classical
style of music in the west. He
was born in present day
Germany. He got education in
law but deviated to music soon
after graduating from
university. His work includes
almost 30 sonatas.
He is referred to as one of
the founders of the classical
music. Mozart and Joseph
Haydn, both are students of
Carl Philipp, whether direct
or indirect. His music never
remained the same and always
surprised the listeners. His
work had a broad range of
emotion. He was unpredictable
and always introduced new
styles in classical music. No
doubt musicians like Mozart
and Haydn got to learn so much
from him. Although none of his
children became musicians.
He became part of the royal
orchestra in 1740. He became
popular among the royal
families and received great
benefits from them. He can
undoubtedly be referred to as
one of the fathers of
classical music in the west.
He died on 14th December 1788.
