The Sonata for violin, cello & keyboard in D major, H. 530, Wq. 89/6, was composed by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in 1788. It was premiered in Hamburg, Germany, in the same year. The sonata consists of three movements: Allegretto, Adagio, and Allegro. The first movement, Allegretto, is in sonata form and begins with a lively and cheerful theme played by the violin and cello in unison. The keyboard then takes over with a more subdued version of the theme, followed by a development section that explores various keys and themes. The movement ends with a recapitulation of the main theme. The second movement, Adagio, is a slow and expressive piece that features the violin and cello playing a lyrical melody over a simple accompaniment by the keyboard. The movement is in ternary form, with the middle section featuring a more complex and ornamented version of the main melody. The final movement, Allegro, is a fast and energetic piece that features a lively theme played by the keyboard. The violin and cello then take turns playing variations on the theme, with the keyboard providing a lively accompaniment. The movement ends with a coda that brings the piece to a rousing conclusion. Overall, the Sonata for violin, cello & keyboard in D major, H. 530, Wq. 89/6, is a lively and expressive work that showcases Bach's skill as a composer. The piece is notable for its use of counterpoint and its exploration of various keys and themes. It remains a popular work in the chamber music repertoire.
