Duet No. 3 - F. 56 I. Allegro II. Adagio ma non troppo III. Presto

Wilhelm Friedemann Bach's six duets, F. 55-59, are significant works that showcase refined nuances, interwoven two-part writing, and rapid outer movements, demonstrating a range of musical expression. The exact dates of composition for these duets are not definitively known, but there is strong evidence that the last duets were composed in the previous decade of W.F. Bach's life when he lived in Berlin. Their musical intricacy and expressive qualities characterize these duets. The duets are a valuable contribution to the chamber music repertoire and exemplify the compositional skill of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710–1784) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, and Johann Sebastian Bach's eldest son.
