Bach’s legacy did not end with Bach. It passed through his sons, inspired Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms, and became a living language of brilliance, beauty, and expressive depth. Fire and Grace follows that inheritance from the quicksilver imagination of C. P. E. Bach to the autumnal warmth of Brahms, showing how the master’s influence continued to ignite new forms of musical expression across generations. Clarinet Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 120, No. 1 Johannes Brahms (1833–1897)
Keyboard Sonata in A Major, W.55/2 Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788)
