About this Item

Bach's two-part Inventions and three-part Sinfonias (BWV 787-801) have come down to us in an autograph fair copy dated 1723. The Inventions in particular, are of merely moderate difficulty and occupy an important place in piano teaching to this day. In terms of their overall organization, the 15 pieces can be seen as leading on to the Wohltemperiertes Klavier. In keeping with normal practice, they were initially distributed in the form of handmade copies, with regular reference to the autograph. The present Urtext edition is based on Bach's autograph as well and has been compared against the NBA. In some of the pieces, the composer himself added additional ornaments at a later stage but did not otherwise undertake significant alterations. In every respect, this new edition of the collection therefore represents an authoritative musical text, without amendments or additions deriving from contemporary secondary sources. The Editorial Report gives details regarding textual criticism, the nature of the manuscript and the later additions.Zweistimmige Inventionen BWV 772-786 für KlavierDie 15 Inventionen, die nach wie vor zum grundlegenden Repertoire eines jeden Klavierunterrichts gehören, werden hier nach aktuellem Forschungsstand in modernem Notenstich vorgelegt.

Synopsis

Urtext edition of Bach's Two-part Inventions for piano (BWV 772-786), edited by Ulrich Bartels. The 15 Two-part Inventions were practical pieces written for instructional purposes and Bach's autograph manuscript of 1723 contains a preface by the composer himself, in which he lays out his intentions for the works. He stresses the importance of achieving a cantabile style of playing", showing that these were not conceived merely as technique exercises but as works of art that should be played expressively.

This Urtext edition by Ulrich Bartels presents an authoritative musical text for this core piece of piano repertoire, incorporating the latest research and referring to Bach's original 1723 autograph. "
