29. If a serious restoration of Emanuel Bach’s reputation, founded upon the recent publication of the voluminous documents central to his life and career, has had to wait until the final decades of the twentieth century, the restoration of the music remains a work in progress. The first half-dozen volumes of the newly inaugurated Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: The Complete Works (Los Altos, California: The Packard Humanities Institute, in cooperation with the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, the Sächsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, and Harvard University, 2005–), soundly edited and handsomely produced, herald the solid textual foundation that will inspire a newly focused view of this extraordinary repertory.
