- Abstract
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788), the second son of Johann Sebastian Bach, was one of the most influential and prolific composers of the eighteenth century. His oeuvre encompassed virtually every musical genre of the time, except opera, and his music enjoyed a high reputation and wide distribution well beyond the composer's lifetime. The recovery in 1999 of the archives of the Sing- Akademie zu Berlin, which include many unique copies of Bach's Hamburg Passions and cantatas once thought to have been lost during the Second World War, has made it possible to present for the first time the complete works of this important composer. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: The Complete Works is an editorial and publishing project of The Packard Humanities Institute, in cooperation with the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, the Sächsische Aka - demie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, and Harvard University. Its goal is to make available, in both printed and digital formats, a critical edition of the composer's works.
