Johann Carl Friedrich Rellstab was quite influential in the realm of music in Berlin. He was a composer, music publisher, writer and critic. When young, his music teachers were Johann Friedrich Agricola and Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch, two well-known composers of that day. He planned to continue his studies with the man who was considered one of the greatest masters of them all, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, but Fate did not allow it: in 1779, Rellstab had to take over his father’s printing business, so he was unable to move to Hamburg, where Bach lived and taught. Yet given his great interest in, and talent for, music, Rellstab decided to guide his printing business in that direction. In 1783 he created a music lending library, and in 1785 he added a music publishing branch to the firm. Later, he began to sell musical instruments and supplies. During the War of the Fourth Coalition, he lost his property, and thus began to support himself by giving music lessons to children. His son Ludwig grew up to be a music critic and poet; his daughter Caroline became a professional singer, a soprano capable of hitting the high F: she was admired for the performances she gave as “Queen of the Night” in Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte”. The present sonata was published in 1788 as Rellstab’s Opus 38, “Sonata for Organ or Harpsichord”.
