Allegro in G major, H.193, Wq.113
Classical Piano solo ~4 min
In brief

C. P. E. Bach's Allegro in G major exudes a lively and joyful atmosphere, characteristic of the classical period, with an expressiveness that blends structural rigor. The student will mainly face challenges in managing rapid passages and dynamic variations that require great agility and precise touch control. Composed during a transitional period between the baroque and romantic eras, this piece illustrates the quest for new expressiveness that marks the shift towards more free and emotive musical forms.
