Keyboard Works Volume 4

En savoir plus

Keyboardist Steven Devine continues this complete survey of Johann Ludwig Krebs' significant contribution to the keyboard genre with the fourth volume in this series dedicated to the composer's keyboard works. In this album Krebs' profound understanding of musical process, honed during his eleven years within J.S. Bach's inner circle, comes alive. The compositions featured on this disc superficially show the parallels between Krebs and his master and teacher, whilst reflecting the more up-to-date musical style of Bach's sons. The Suite in C and the Six Sonatinas form parts two and three respectively of the Clavier-ubung (keyboard exercises): a four-part publication published in Nuremberg around 1744.
