Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Arte Nova Music Lab. Baroque,Concert,Standards. Score and parts. 32 pages. Arte Nova Music Lab #4411069. Published by Arte Nova Music Lab (A0.742466).The Inventions and Sinfonias, BWV 772–801, also known as the Two- and Three-
Part Inventions, are a collection of thirty short keyboard compositions by Johann
Sebastian Bach (1685–1750): 15 inventions, which are two-part contrapuntal pieces, and
15 sinfonias, which are three-part contrapuntal pieces. They were originally written as
musical exercises for his students.
Bach titled the collection: Forth right instruction, where with lovers of the clavier,
especially those desirous of learning, are shown in a clear way not only 1) to learn to
play two voices clearly, but also after further progress 2) to deal correctly and well with
three obbligato parts, moreover at the same time to obtain not only good ideas, but also
to carry them out well, but most of all to achieve a cantabile style of playing, and
thereby to acquire a strong foretaste of composition.
The two groups of pieces are both arranged in order of ascending key, each group
covering eight major and seven minor keys.
The inventions were composed in Köthen; the sinfonias, on the other hand, were
probably not finished until the beginning of the Leipzig period.
