Much of WF's work is either old-fashioned baroque or empty galanterie, but this concerto can easily stand next to the best of Carl Philipp Emanuel. His musical output is like his life: wavering between extremes but occasionally finding a safe haven.
I don't know that galanterie is necessarily empty: it's the right thing at the right place when it's called for. (Very often in my life.) And it's by no means easy to compose, probably harder than an exercise in fugue composition. An appeal to taste, to the "bon goût" of the palate of the ear, may not seem technically demanding, but it is difficult because human taste can be so exquisitely discriminating when it is cultivated. One could call wine from an exceptionally good year "empty" but that makes no sense, for what should it be filled with? Superior mastery in counterpoint could just as well be "empty," because even the most impressive handling of the technical rules cannot, ultimately, hide an emptiness arising from a lack of musical imagination. Galant music and the pre-classical styles have nothing to hide behind: they are naked before an unforgiving musical ear that will pick up the tiniest divergence from that indefinable thing which is prevailing musical taste.

Bellissimo! From the sons of J.S.Bach - Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, understood his father's music best of all.
He is my Bach! The most enigmatic of the sons.
Oh, and Mr von der Goltz just happens to be MY violinist. Nice!
Un gioiello.
Yet another gorgeous 18th C British portrait. The music is nice as well. Poor WF should have gone to London like his brother.
Wonderful concerto♥️and orchestra
Exquisite sound of fortepiano. I love the flow in Allegretto. 💖
D'une extraordinaire beauté!
