Solfeggietto in C minor, H.220 (Wq.117/2) – Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach | Harpsichord Performance

Harpsichord performance of the Solfeggietto in C minor, H.220 (Wq.117/2) by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The Solfeggietto is one of C.P.E. Bach’s most widely known keyboard works and a characteristic example of the empfindsamer Stil. Marked by sudden contrasts, expressive tension, and restless motion, the piece stands at the crossroads between late Baroque rhetoric and early Classical sensibility. Presented here on the harpsichord, the work is approached through articulation, dynamic shaping, and structural clarity, allowing its volatility and expressive urgency to emerge within the language of the instrument. Bruno Martins is a harpsichordist and contemporary musician based in Paris.
