The image of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710- 84) most widely prevalent in our time is that of an eldest son as it were haunted by the memory of his father but who, nevertheless, crippled by gambling and drinking debts, was obliged to sell his share of the precious inheritance constituted by Johann Sebastian’s manuscripts. Yet he was also one of the first composers to carve out a ‘freelance’ existence, like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart some years after him. And there is another characteristic of Wilhelm Friedemann that in its way prefigures the Romantic composers. Carl Friedrich Zelter, later to be one of Felix Mendelssohn’s teachers, wrote to Goethe: ‘As a composer, he had the tic douloureux of being original, of getting away from his father and his brothers, and thereby came to write in a petty, fussy, sterile way.’ Overshadowed by his father and his two more famous brothers, the ‘London Bach’ Johann Christian and the ‘Berlin Bach’ Carl Philipp Emanuel, Wilhelm Friedemann gives the impression of an unstable figure, capricious in character, who left an output that is admittedly interesting, in particular where his works for solo keyboard are concerned, but in the end fairly sparse. …
