Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (German: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, March 8, 1714 - December 14, 1788), generally referred to as C.P.E. Bach, was a German composer and the third son of J.S. Bach. C.P.E. Bach composed more than a thousand musical works, among which the influence of the Rococo style is significant. His music is beautiful and elegant, often using a variety of decorative sound patterns, trying to express rich emotions. He composed symphonies, concertos, keyboard sonatas, etc., and made outstanding contributions to the formation of sonata form. The paper "Versuch über die wahre Art, das Clavier zu spielen" (Versuch über die wahre Art, das Clavier zu spielen) is also of great value.
