And another of my faves by der grosse Karl: Wq 12… the first movement of this concerto has one of the all-time stormiest development sections in all of music, in my opinion, and not to be outdone is the third movement, which many will recognize as the “theme” music to the Dialogues. Definitely the heavy metal rocker of the Bach family; the first movement is musical blitzkrieg and Sturm und Drang at its best:

I’m convinced that CPE influenced a lot of the 1970s prog-rockers, ie, early Genesis et al…
Maybe he did, I don’t know. He certainly WAS a rocker though. Imagine having to follow up a father like that? How to do it? Completely reinvent EVERYTHING.
There is certainly a modern quality to his music… almost “neo-classical” before the classical age. Maybe that’s why his music is only now coming back.
