Johann Adolph Scheibe: Sonata I, in do maggiore per Cembalo solo (c. 1757)

Composer: Johann Adolph Scheibe (1708-1776)
Harpsichordist: Fernando De Luca (1961-present)

Johann Adolph Scheibe's genius has been overshadowed by his infamous criticism of Johan Sebastion Bach. Scheibe utilizes moving, albeit, simple melodies that are easy on the ears. Unfortunately, most of his music was destroyed in 1796, when a fire engulfed the royal castle and the music collection of the Royal Chapel (Det Kgl. Bibliotek, n.d.). I hope you enjoy this recording of a harpsichord solo by Scheibe.
