  • CPE Bach - Siciliana in F# minor

    From Weed@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 5 14:25:05 2021
    I have the sheet music for Segovia's transcription in D minor of CPE Bach's 'Siciliana'. There are several references to the original key being F# minor, but its origin is hard to track down because CPE Bach wrote many movements called Siciliana,
    presumably all in 6/8 or 12/8, and he commonly used the key of F# minor. Does anyone know whether this is a stand-alone piece, or whether it is a movement from a larger work? And if the latter, which one?

    Found it (thanks to help on the Delcamp forum). It is CPE Bach's Keyboard Sonata in B Minor, Wq.63/4 H.73: III. Allegro siciliano scherzando.

    Good to hear. I had no idea.
