Look at the description of "Early Classical Style" in Marshall, p. 239.  All of these sonatas more-or-less correspond to these changes in style from previous
practice.

Writing assignment to be turned in on October 9:  (you may find the readings in Marshall useful in your answers; if you are paraphrasing or quoting sources, please use appropriate citation style in footnotes!)
Think about the Sonatas and/or Fantasies of C. P. E. and J. C. Bach.  How does each composer adapt the new eighteenth-century aesthetic into his work?
How do these sons of J. S. Bach carry on their father's legacy?  Or do they?  Of the two brothers, whose music is more about expression?  Whose is more
about diversion or pleasure?  Cite examples to support your ideas in answer to each of these questions. How do their styles reflect changing tastes in their
respective homes?
