C.P.E. Bach: A life in pictures
8. In the service of Princess Anna Amalia
Upon his release from service at the court, C.P.E. Bach was named court composer for Frederick the Great’s sister, Princess Anna Amalia. Her patronage and interest in the oratorio may have been influential in nurturing Bach’s ambitious choral works that followed.
