CPE Bach Solfeggietto - notes doubt

on: December 26, 2009, 04:34:24 PM

Hi !!

i am currently learning this funny piece. I have 2 different editions, and they have slight differences:

1-Bar 13, left hand.
One edition has single notes (G and F), and the other has Octaves (G-G and F-F).

2-Bar 8. LAST note of the bar. One edition has C and the other has D.

What do you think is the correct way to play it?

Thanks !!!

Dear Stormx,

1) The left hand in bar 13 is in octaves, which helped to create the dynamic difference on Mr. Bach's piano.

2) D, without a doubt. The harmony is dominant seventh, and there is already a C on beat 4, which resolves to the Bb on the downbeat of the following measure (the D in question resolves down by 5th/12th).

Best wishes,
Jean-Baptiste Morel
