Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
German composer, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, (1714-1788, Hamburg) was the second surviving son of Johann Sebastian Bach and the leading composer of the early Classical period. C.P.E. Bach also had an enviable reputation as a performer and teacher.
He composed a vast number of works including concerti, symphonies, chamber music, songs, religious music and organ works amongst others.
In 1740 he was appointed harpsichordist to Frederick II of Prussia. Frederick was an accomplished flautist and would regularly perform flute concerti with the court orchestra.

Jean-Pierre-Rampal-Flautist
Jean-Pierre Rampal (1922-2000) renowned French flautist toured internationally, recorded a vast array of works involving the flute and in later years, took up conducting.
Rampal won a place to study at the Paris Conservatoire and later founded the French Wind Quintet before becoming Principal Flute of the Paris Opéra (1956–62). In 1968 he took up the post of Flute Professor at the Paris Conservatoire.
He enhanced the status of the flute as a concert instrument through his vast number of recordings from Baroque masterpieces to jazz. He was particularly known for his authentic interpretations of 18th Century music and for his editing skills with the music of the Baroque period.
Rampal’s autobiography, ‘Music, My Love’, was published in 1989.
