Carl
Fasch was notoriously
reluctant to have his
music made public and
even asked that much of
it should be destroyed.
What remains, however,
supports the view of the
contemporary writer on
music Johann Reichardt
that Fasch was the true
successor to C. P. E.
Bach, with whom he shared
keyboard duties for
Frederick the Great. In
this first volume of his
complete keyboard works,
the six sonatas, which
appeared in print and
were well regarded during
the composer's lifetime,
show him to be a minor
master and an eloquent
advocate for the eclectic
expressive style then
current in Berlin.
