Sara Levy and Her Music Collection. Keyboard Concertos by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach from the National Library ofPoland
The paper discusses musical sources kept in the National Library of Poland, namely a collection of handwritten copies of ten keyboard concertos by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, made by Georg Amft based on materials that originated from the music collections of Sara Levy and Zippora Wulff. This paper primarily focuses on the Concerto in A Minor Wq 26. Amft’s copy of that piece was likely made based on a Bach’s autograph kept in the Royal Library in Berlin (Königliche Bibliothek). Seeing as Amft’s Vorlage is now lost, the Warsaw document appears to be an important indirect source for an early version of Wq 26.
