Musician's or Publisher's Notes

The extent to which the Sonata in E-flat Major, BWV1031, can be attributed to Bach remains in dispute. Probably dating from the early to mid-1730s this immediately appealing music may well be a joint venture of Bach himself and one or other of his two elder sons, perhaps Carl Philipp Emanuel. What is indisputable is the high quality of its craftsmanship and its expressive charm. The opening Allegro moderato is introduced by a delightful eight-bar melody played by the piano, after which the oboe enters with the main theme. In the spirited binary Allegro, with its repeated sections, there is effective interplay between the two upper parts, bringing this pleasing sonata to a lively conclusion.          Notes by Nicholas Anderson
