Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, the capital of the duchy of Saxe-Eisenach, in present-day Germany, on 21 March 1685 O.S. (31 March 1685 N.S.). He was the son of Johann Ambrosius Bach, the director of the town musicians, and Maria Elisabeth Lämmerhirt. The second surviving son of J.S. Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel was the most innovative and idiosyncratic member of an extremely talented musical family. His music, unlike that of his father or that of the master he influenced, Haydn, did not define an era so much as reveal a deeply personal response to the musical conventions of his time. C.P.E. Bach could play his father's technically demanding keyboard pieces at sight by the time he was seven. Also an exceptional student in areas other than music, he enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1731 to study law, then transferred to the University of Frankfurt an der Oder. He graduated in 1734, but remained in that backwater town giving keyboard lessons, involving himself in public concerts, and learning the composer's craft

The Flute Sonata in C Major (BWV 1033) has been questioned as to it's authorship; not wether it was composed by Bach but, which Bach? This is one of three "Bach" flute sonatas of questionable attribution; the earliest surviving copy was made by Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel, who may simply have been serving as his father's copyist. Particularly in the first two movements, it doesn't seem quite as mature as Bach's other flute sonatas, which could mean that a less experienced composer wrote the music, or simply that Bach was finding his way in a genre that was new to him. Indeed, it may have been written as early as 1718, with Bach delivering the solo flute part to one of his sons or another student, who was asked to provide a continuo part as a compositional exercise.

The work falls into four movements, in something of the chamber sonata style but without explicitly naming any dance patterns until the end. The brief first movement is officially a Presto, although it begins with a more measured introduction. The flute plays nonstop throughout, and when it launches into the cadenza-like Presto proper, the continuo players may reduce their part to a single, suspenseful, long-held chord. It's immediately clear that the flute part of this sonata could easily stand alone. Next comes an Allegro, a bright little perpetual-motion piece with a chugging accompaniment. The first theme, played twice, is answered by a related tune, also repeated. The serene and delicate Adagio often sends the flute into the upper reaches of its range, though without exceeding the Baroque flute's natural compass, as Bach requires in his E minor and B minor sonatas. Finally, a pair of graceful minuets show up; typically for this format, the second is capped by a terse repeat of the first.
