Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (22 November 1710 - 1 July 1784) was the second child of master baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750.) W.F. Bach composed music during the transition period from the Baroque Period (1600-1750) to the early Classical Period (1750-1820), specifically an early movement referred to as Rococo, although W.F. Bach mostly stayed with the late baroque style associated more with his father.
