Invention No 1

The Inventions are among the simpler works of J.S. Bach and I have picked out two that have been with me all my life.

I have provided them with fingerings here that should make it clear that careful one-handed practice is required in order to perform them in all their beauty.

I can guarantee you that great pride will come over you if you master the pieces flawlessly.

The incredible clarity and beauty of this music is simply overwhelming. A single chord at the end, just two melodies that complement each other and make the whole thing perfect.
