Description: Published in 1754, these three-movement sonatas are fine examples of the music of Fredrick the Great's court. Schaffrath spent his life after 1740 in and around that milieu and these works, simple in form and with light, attractive melodies, show their composer's skill in their harmonic turns and sometimes demandingly elaborated counterpoint. Borbála Dobozy (harpsichord).
