La Caroline (C. P. E. Bach)

La Caroline, Wq. 117/39, H. 98, is a character piece (or "piece de caractare") for solo keyboard in A minor, written by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Bach wrote several character pieces which were often grouped together and published as a set. These character pieces were based on similar works composed by François Couperin. "La Caroline" along with "La Philippine" (Wq 117/34, H. 96) may have been named after his daughter Anna Carolina Philippina.
