    About this ebook

    In the autograph of his 'Inventions', J.S. Bach set out the aim of these pieces, formulating a dual purpose: the keyboard player should, on the one hand, practise polyphonic playing with two obligatory parts and develop a 'cantabile' style; at the same time he should also be given an introduction to the study of composition, and learn how a piece can be developed from an invented theme (Inventio) by means of imitative techniques. Our new edition in the well-known 'Piano Classics' series is intended for teaching purposes and provides a reliable text, an introduction to the work as well as a table for the realization of J. S. Bach's ornaments and trills.

    Johann Sebastian Bach

    Johann Sebastian Bach ist ein Musiker, der höchste künstlerische Ansprüche mit unvergleichlicher Eleganz verbindet. Dies in einem eleganten Solo-Werk umzusetzen, so dass dennoch die Musik unmittelbar wirkt, emotional, auf eingängige Weise, und dass dennoch das Einfache und menschliche in den Vordergrund tritt, das ist die Meisterschaft und das Verdienst Bachs. In Bachs Musik geht es ihm nicht darum, die Dramatik in den Vordergrund zu stellen, sondern das Herz in Bewegung zu setzen. Es ist die Menschlichkeit, die Bach in seiner Musik bei aller Meisterschaft an den Tag legt. Man kann Bach immer nachsingen oder nachspielen - meint man zumindest.
