Author : Johann Friedrich Fasch
Description
Carl Fasch was famously hesitant to share his music with the public and even requested the destruction of much of his work. The pieces that have survived bolster the perspective that Fasch was the genuine heir to C. P. E. Bach, with whom he collaborated on keyboard performances at the court of Frederick the Great. The sonata in question, which was published and received acclaim during the composer's lifetime, demonstrates his status as a minor master and a compelling proponent of the diverse expressive style prevalent in Berlin at that time.
