Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's 'Orchester-sinfonien (4), H. 663-666, Wq. 183/1-4' is a set of four symphonies composed between 1773 and 1775. The set was premiered in Hamburg in 1775, and each symphony consists of three movements. The first symphony, in D major, opens with a lively and energetic Allegro, followed by a graceful and lyrical Andante, and concludes with a spirited Presto. The second symphony, in E-flat major, begins with a stately and majestic Allegro, followed by a tender and expressive Largo, and ends with a lively and playful Presto. The third symphony, in C major, features a bright and cheerful Allegro, a graceful and elegant Largo, and a lively and energetic Presto. The fourth and final symphony, in G major, opens with a lively and spirited Allegro, followed by a tender and expressive Largo, and concludes with a lively and playful Presto. The 'Orchester-sinfonien' are characterized by their expressive melodies, lively rhythms, and inventive harmonies. Bach's use of unexpected modulations and chromaticism adds a sense of unpredictability and excitement to the music. The symphonies also feature virtuosic solo passages for various instruments, showcasing Bach's skill as a composer and his understanding of the capabilities of the orchestra. Overall, the 'Orchester-sinfonien' are a testament to Bach's mastery of the symphonic form and his ability to create music that is both technically impressive and emotionally engaging.
