26. Carl Friedrich Cramer, Magazin der Musik, I/2 (1783): 1241. Hans-Günter Ottenberg, C. P. E. Bach (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 1987), 166, claims that Cramer disapproved of Bach’s decision, that he “lowered himself to write in that genre.” This seems a misreading of Cramer’s subtle argument. For Ottenberg’s original text, see his Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (Leipzig: Philipp Reclam jun., 1982), 229.
