The four composer-sons of Johann Sebastian Bach were figures of decisive importance in the transitional period between the Baroque and Viennese classicism. Around the middle of the 18th century they were influential not only as composers but also as virtuoso players of keyboard instruments in promoting the enormous change in style that took place during those decades. This volume offers a selection of the genres typical of the keyboard works by Bach's sons, thereby also giving students an excellent introduction to Viennese classicism and to the works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Contains ABRSM Piano Syllabus pieces, Grades 3-6.Vier Söhne Johann Sebastian Bachs, die in die Fußstapfen des Vaters traten, sind bedeutende Figuren der 'Übergangszeit' zwischen dem Barock und der Wiener Klassik. Nicht nur als Komponisten sondern auch als Meister der Tasteninstrumente wirkten sie gegen Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts massiv an dem enormen Stilwechsel mit, welcher sich in diesen Jahrzehnten vollzog. Das vorliegende Heft bietet dem Schüler eine Auswahl an charakteristischen Gattungen von Werken der Bach-Söhne für Tasteninstrumente und führt sie dadurch ausgezeichnet in die Wiener Klassik, in die Stücke von Haydn, Mozart und Beethoven ein.
