6. C.P.E. Bach's Magnificat
During his residence in Berlin, Emanuel Bach composed a fine setting of the ‘Magnificat’ (1749), in which he shows more traces than usual of his father's influence. He also wrote an Easter cantata (1756), several symphonies and concert works and nearly two hundred keyboard sonatas and other solos.
