Storm & Passion - From Bach's Sons to the young Beethoven

Music · Saturday, December 5 · 20:30 · Pau

Temple,, 21 Rue Serviez

Carl-Philipp-Emanuel Bach, a musical genius of the Enlightenment era, left a deep mark on Joseph Haydn. His music, playing with light and shadow and unexpected twists, expresses the fluctuations of the soul stirred by the currents of passion. He and Haydn were pioneers of instrumental music, the former with keyboard works, the latter a generation later with string quartets. Although their works signal the end of Baroque aesthetics, Beethoven still claimed CPE Bach and admired his scores. “Tempête & Passion - Des fils Bach au jeune Beethoven"…
