Tricentennary of CPE Bach
on: March 03, 2014, 02:50:45 AM
For those of you unaware, this week (the 8th to be exact) marks the 300th Birthday of CPE Bach.



So, dig out a sonata and have a go in celebration.

Oh, and every time you use your thumb, remember it was his imprimatur that first made it truly acceptable to do so.

The CPU (central processing unit) was not used to play Bach until the personal computer was invented . This was much more recently than 300 years ago, though Bach was born in 1685, so maybe this is where your confusion comes from.  Get your facts straight next time before posting, fella.

You're trying too hard. You're not funny.

Too many trills. I prefer JC Bach.
