Having been obliged to compose most of my works for particular individuals and for the public, I have been placed under more restraint in these works than in the few pieces I have written for my own pleasure.  Indeed, sometimes I have been compelled to follow very ludicrous instructions; still, it is possible that these far from agreeable suggestions may have inspired my creative imagination with a variety of ideas that otherwise probably never would have occurred to me.

    - Carl Phillipp Emanuel Bach (from his Autobiography, 1773)


We are generally wary of composing on commission for all the reasons C.P.E. Bach sites... However, we are always wiling to discuss the possibility.  If you have an idea that you think we might want to develop, contact us (see contact info at the bottom of the site).
