r to be three-movement overtures transcribed
for clavier. As a rule, the pieces marked as symphonies in this
collection have no double bars, and, consequently, no repeat in the
first movement. A "symphony" of Emanuel Bach is, however, marked as a
"sonata" in the _Six Lessons for the Harpsichord_, published in London
during the eighteenth century.

[60] The king was extremely fond of Hasse's music, but this composer,
though German by birth, was thoroughly Italian by training.

[61] Yet, curiously, there is no chord in the later sonatas so large
as the two on page 29 (6th Sonata)--

[Music illustration] and [Music illustration]

which, of course, are played in arpeggio.

[62] Excepting in the fifth, which, by the way, was, for a long time,
considered to be the composition of J.S. Bach, and was published as
such by J.C. Westphal & Co. This return to the opening theme is to be
found already in the sonatinas for violin and cembalo by G.P. Telemann
published at Amsterdam in 1718. See Allegro of No. 1, in A; the main
theme is given as usual in the key of the dominant at the beginning of
the second section. Then after a modulation to the key of the relative
minor, a return is made to the opening key and the opening theme.

[63] Similar passages are to be found in the opening Vivace of J.G.
Muethel's 2nd Sonata in G. He was a pupil of J.S. Bach, and either a
pupil or close follower of E. Bach. His six published sonatas are of
great musical interest; in his wide sweeping arpeggios and other
florid passages he shows an advance on E. Bach. His 2nd Arioso with
twelve variations is worth the notice of pianists in search of
something unfamiliar. There are features in the music--and of these
the character of the theme is not least--which remind one strongly of
Beethoven's 32 C minor variations.

[64] A recitative is also to be found in a Mueller sonata.

[65] "In tempo in cui ebbi l'onore di darle Lezzione di Musica in
Berlino."

[66] "The two sonatas, which met with your special approval, are the
only ones of this kind which I have ever composed. They are connected
with the one in B minor, which I sent to you, with the one in B flat,
which you now have also, and with two out of the Hafner-Wuertemberg
Collection; and all six were composed on a Claviacord with the short
octave, at the Toeplitz baths, when I was suffering from a severe
attack of gout."

A series of six sonatas by E. Bach is in the _Tresor des Pianistes_,
and
