Concerto in A minor for flute and keyboard (Wq. 166, H 431)
C.P.E. Bach: Concerto for flute in A minor (Wq 166, H 431) is considered as an arrangement from harpsicord concerto which was written in 1750, at the time when Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach served as a court harpsichordist for Prussian King Friedrich II who played flute.
The concerto is scored for solo flute, strings, and continuo (usually harpsichord). It consists of three movements and displays the composer's innovative approach to form and his ability to blend elements of the Baroque style with emerging Classical characteristics.

Bach Carl Philipp Emanuel
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) was a German composer, son of J.S.Bach and godson of G.P.Telemann. C.P.E. Bach’s “sensitive style” (empfindsamer Still) marked a transition between baroque and classical style, applying principles of rhetoric and drama to musical structures. C.P.E. Bach was known as “Berlin Bach” to differenced himself from his brother J.C.Bach who was known as “London Bach”. Besides composing, C.P.E.Bach wrote “Essay on the true art of playing keyboard instruments”, thus greatly influencing upbringing of the greatest classical composers: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
