Absolutely! I like this comparison. Especially if you listen to the de
Silva recordings.

Well, Berlin and Hamburg in the mid XVIII century were not London or
Paris or Vienna but still not exactly peripheric from a cultural and
professional vantage point. And CPE seemed perfectly happy with his
Kappelmeister role and his strong links to the aristocracy and patronage
thereof, definitely different from Mozart a few years down the road.

Yes this is exactly it. It seems you know more about European history in
this era than I do but for you to draw a line between CPE's feudal-style
patronage on the one hand and Mozart's something-different on the other
hand - makes me feel if anything more comfortable with the hasty sketch
I typed out above.
