Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (March 8, 1714 - December 14, 1788) was a German Classical period musician and composer, the fifth child and second (surviving) son of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach. C. P. E. Bach was an influential composer working at a time of transition between his father's baroque style and the classical and romantic styles that followed it. His personal approach, an expressive and often turbulent one known as empfindsamer Stil or "sensitive style", applied the principles of rhetoric and drama to musical structures. His dynamism stands in deliberate contrast to the more mannered galant style also then in vogue. He was known as the "Berlin Bach" or the "Hamburg Bach". Through the later half of the 18th century, the reputation of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach stood very high. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart said of him, "He is the father, we are the children." The best part of Joseph Haydn's training was derived from a study of his work. Beethoven expressed for his genius the most cordial admiration and regard. The content of his work is full of invention and, most importantly, extreme unpredictability, and wide emotional range even within a single work. He died in 1788 at the age of 74. 2014 marked the 300th anniversary of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. All six German Bach cities - Hamburg, Potsdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig and Weimar - hosted concerts and other events to commemorate the anniversary of his birth.
