Paolo Corsi (Hammerklavier, Cembalo) // These sonatas are directly referable to the ties of friendship with two families of virtuosi, the Abels and the Hesses, who had already inspired the work of Johann Sebastian. Carl Philipp Emanuel was active in Berlin, encouraged by the presence of the violist Ludwig Christian Hesse and the enthusiasm of his patron Frederick the Great. The friendship between Carl Friedrich Abel and Johann Christian gave rise to the latter's sonatas in London.
