Bach -- 3-Part Inventions (Sinfonias)


Book Description

Like the two-part inventions, Bach's three-part inventions (also known as Sinfonias) were composed as instructional material for his son, Wilhelm Friedemann. In researching the sinfonias, Willard A. Palmer discovered that previous editors had misinterpreted an important note in Sinfonia No. 11. Such careful research is a hallmark of Palmer's Bach editions.

Inventions and sinfonias


Book Description

During his lifetime, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was better known as a virtuoso performer than as a composer. He was a dedicated student of the keyboard, always teaching, exploring and expanding his knowledge of the instrument. His Inventions and Sinfonias (Two- and Three-Part Inventions), which were not published during his lifetime, are an example of his desire to examine the wealth of harmony that two-part 18th-century counterpoint can provide. The works found in this book are not keyboard exercises, but warm, melodic pieces that are a delight to play and that expose the intellectual and mathematical genius of J. S. Bach. This Alfred edition was carefully and methodically prepared by Willard A. Palmer. It is based on several sources, including Bach's Autograph of 1723, the manuscripts of Bach's son Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, and the manuscripts of Bach's student Heinrich Gerber. The extensive and thorough explanation of trills, mordents and appoggiaturas are helpful and precise, making this issue of Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias the most practical and attractive one available. - Back cover.

Bach - Sinfonias (Three-Part Inventions)


Book Description

It would appear that J.S. Bach really composed his two- and three-part Inventions (Sinfonias) on purpose to prepare his pupils for his larger works, - especially for his "Well-Tempered Clavier", - and as such they cannot be too urgently recommended. And to this day, a diligent study of these Inventions will greatly benefit every talented student of the piano who desires to rise above mediocrity; they will cultivate his musical taste and develop his technic. For in no modern, easy piece of music is the left hand given so independent of a treatment of the theme as in these Inventions. Edited By: Carl Czerny (1791–1857) Friedrich Conrad Griepenkerl (1742–1849) Friedrich August Roitzsch (1805–1889) (Note: This edition contains only the 15 Sinfonias (three-part Inventions), and not the 15 (two-part) Inventions.)
