Bach - Two Part Inventions Urtext

SKU: SU.12800084

Vol. 84 — J.S. BACH: 436 Two-Part Chorales — Essential Studies in Counterpoint, Musicianship & Sight-Reading (169 pages). This premium Urtext edition presents Bach’s 436 four-part chorales with the inner voices (alto and tenor) removed, which is equal in difficulty to the Grades 3-4 lines in BachScholar’s bestselling Sight-Reading & Harmony. These simple yet profoundly beautiful 436 chorales serve as excellent preparation for the reading and playing of pieces featuring 1:1 and 1:2 counterpoint, such as two-part Inventions and fugues, and make Bach’s chorales accessible to less advanced students who are unable to play all four parts. Performers will marvel at the clear and easy to read manuscript and will be delighted in having no page turns between chorales. The 436 chorales are arranged in alphabetical order (in German) according to each chorale melody (hymn tune), which are accompanied with English translations. This edition also includes a 15-page table of contents with background information of each chorale, a list of the chorales in BWV order for easy reference, and an alphabetical list of composers of the chorale melodies. Ideal for piano and organ teachers and students as well as college and university courses in ear training, sight-reading, harmony, theory, and counterpoint. Published by: BachScholar.

Bach's Two-Part Inventions, first printed in 1801, have played a key role in modern-day music education for decades. Bach dedicated the predecessor of these works to his son, Wilhelm Friedemann they were originally-titled Preambulum and compiled within the collection of piano music known today as Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1720). The principle aim of these pedagogical works was to promote the acquisition of clean two-part playing as well as stylistically-sound cantabile playing. As a musical form, the invention left its mark on the music composition tendencies and conventions of the 17th century as well as its musical performance practices. Bach'sinventions as a whole also provide students with insight into the fundamentals of counterpoint.
