Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

Rondo Expressivo Si Mineur

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions indispensable to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in the form of traditional works (paper sheets), and also available by download.



This rondo expressivo was composed in 1778 at the end of Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach's life. This work clearly reveals the expressivity very much in the composer's mind. The counterpoint between the left and right hands is akin to Beethoven's early pieces.
The melodic movements of this rondo expressivo seek above all to express the taciturn movements of the soul.
Come and discover this delightful rondo by Johann Sebastian Bach's most talented son.
