Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel. (1714–1788). Versuch über die wahre Art, das Clavier zu spielen - Zweiter Theil. Leipzig: im Schwickertschen Verlage. 1797. Second.
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachs / vormaligem Kapellmeister der Prinzessinn Amalia von Preussen und Musikdirector in Hamburg / Versuch / über die wahre Art / das Clavier zu spielen / Zweiter Theil, / in welchem die Lehre von dem Accompagnement / und der freyen Fantasie / abgehandelt wird. / Nebst einer Kupfertafel. / Zweite vom Verfasser verbesserte, und mit Zusätzen vermehrte Auflage. Ownership stamp of the Austrian cellist Rudolf Glickh to title page. 8vo. 7 x 8.25 inches (18 x 22 cm). [8], 280 pp. In fine condition throughout, nicely bound in three quarter brown cloth over marbled boards.
C. P. E. Bach's theoretical work on the art of playing keyboard instruments stands alongside Quantz' Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversiere zu spielen and Leopold Mozart's Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule as one of the most important treatises on 18th-century performance practice. First published in 1753, the first volume contains comprehensive instructions on fingering, ornamentation and style for keyboard players. The longer second volume, first published in 1762, deals with continuo playing and addresses all the possible styles of keyboard accompaniment and improvisation, beginning with the simplest chords and ending with "der freyen Fantasie," or "free Fantasias." The present volume is the second, enlarged edition of the second volume (1797).
A student of Hellmesberger, the Viennese cellist Rudolf Glickh (1864–1945), was a member of the court orchestra from 1901 and Kapellmeister at the Votivkirche from 1902. In 1917 he became head of the Liebig Music Institute, and later taught (1920) and then was Director (1926) of the Musiklehranstalt Schubert. As a critic, he was also associated with the Wiener Theater- und Fremdenzeitung and the Deutschen Kunst- und Musikzeitung.
