Bach -- Inventions & Sinfonias (2 & 3 Part Inventions) by Valery Lloyd-Watts. By Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Edited by Willard A. Palmer. For Piano. Masterworks; Piano Collection. Alfred Masterwork CD Edition. Baroque; Masterwork. Book & CD. 116 pages. Published by Alfred Music Publishing (AP.22521).

ISBN 0739036866. Baroque; Masterwork.

This historically accurate edition contains a wealth of background information information on ornamentation, dotted rhythms in the Baroque style, and the recommended tempos and guidelines for performing the works on the piano. Bach's writing is carefully separated from the editorial suggestions in light gray print. A wealth of footnotes compare the various sources consulted. Students, teachers and professional pianists will find this volume invaluable. The Alfred Masterwork CD Editions conveniently combine each exceptional volume with a professionally recorded CD that is sure to inspire artistic performances.

Pianist Valery Lloyd-Watts studied at the Conservatory of Music in Toronto and the Royal College of Music in London. She earned a Master of Music degree from the University of Wisconsin, where she studied with Paul Badura-Skoda. She co-authored the text Studying Suzuki Piano: More than Music, which was endorsed by Dr. Suzuki.

      @Piano performer

      I am a freshman in high school and I play Bach. Who cares about when you're "supposed" to play it, who cares about when you're "supposed" to play anything. In my opinion, everybody makes to big a deal about "oh you have to play this because you are this old"...

      Bach is hard

      This is a good book and explains trills and rythms and other musical challenges right there on the page for you in a simply and easy manner. But Bach itself is not easy. I would not recommend this book or any bach unless you are with a private professional piano...
