15 zweistimmige Inventionen

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.
