Cette nouvelle édition repose sur le manuscrit autographe de 1723 de Jean-Sébastien Bach conservé à la Deutsche Staatsbibliothek de Berlin. Cette version manuscrite représentait certainement pour l'auteur l'état d'achèvement de l'oeuvre. On sait cependant qu'il existe une version primitive des inventions. Ces pièces figurent sous les titres de ' Praembula et Fantasiae ' dans le Petit Livre du Clavier (Clavierbüchlein-1720) que J.S.Bach avait destiné à l'éducation musicale de son fils Wilhelm Friedmann. En 1723, il les réunit dans un recueil qu'il nomme ' Inventions et Sinfonies ' plus communément appelé ' Inventions à deux et trois voix '. / Clavecin

Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias are rightly considered as indispensable to every pianist. In his famous preface to the collection, Bach himself called it an 'Instruction? which teaches students and keyboard lovers to 'treat correctly? both two and three voices, to 'achieve a singing style in playing? and to 'acquire a strong foretaste of composition?. To this end, Bach created timelessly beautiful music which has lost nothing of its relevance to us nearly 300 years after its creation. We are now presenting a new edition of this classic collection, which draws upon all known sources and offers the best in 'instruction?, especially with respect to the transmitted embellishment variants.

The “Little Organ Book” perhaps the most celebrated collection ever of chorale preludes owes its title to J.S. Bach’s application for the post of Cantor at St Thomas’ Church in Leipzig. Lacking an academic degree Bach wanted to demonstrate his qualifications as a teacher through his compositions – including his Inventions Sinfonias and the “Well Tempered Klavier”. This also led him to append a misleading title to the most ambitious project of his time at Weimar: he called this collection of chorale preludes - originally meant to number 164 pieces - pieces for an “aspiring organist”. In fact the44 completed compositions of the “Little Organ Book” are demanding masterpieces which give an impressive display of the full range of the so-called short chorale prelude. This new critical edition returns for the first time to the format of the principal sources dating from Bach’s time in that most of the pieces are reproduced on two systems rather than three.
