Johann Christian Bach (September 5, 1735 - January 1, 1782) was a German composer of the Classical era, the eighteenth child of Johann Sebastian Bach, and the youngest of his eleven sons. After living in Italy for five years (1757-1762), Bach moved to London, where he became known as "The London Bach". He is also sometimes known as "The English Bach", and during his time spent living in the British capital, he came to be known as John Bach. He is noted for playing a role in influencing the concerto styles of Haydn and Mozart. He contributed significantly to the development of the new sonata principle.

Johann Cristian Bach è il piu geniale dei figli di Bach figlio dell epoca dello stile galante visse a lungo da conoscere Mozart di cui divenne grande amico .Carattere spigliato gioioso che si riflette in tutta la sua produzione musicale

[@moxyblackfiddler]

He and Stamitz works always seem to start out with so much panache

Mannheim School trait.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

A really good performance of a very fine symphony.
One or two points:
i) This symphony is known universally as Opus 18 No 4 (the Warburton numbers are rarely used, and certainly not in place of the well-known Opus numbers).
ii) Regarding the description note: JC was hugely important to Mozart who loved both the man and his music, something he openly acknowledged; including Haydn in the comment as well however is simply wrong - during his Eszterhaza years, not a single work by JC was ever performed there by Haydn and the ‘influence’ was precisely zero.

I agree. I would also add that he had little to do with the development of the sonata principle: by the time he arrived in London the sonata principle was already the bread and butter for many leading instrumental composers. He may have contributed to its establishing in London, but developing? No.
