Sources : Johann Sebastian Bach, Fünfzehn Inventionen [15 Two-Part Inventions] (1723).

An earlier version exists in the Clavier-Büchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach [Little Clavier Book for Wilhelm Friedemann Bach] (1720).

Bach wrote these fifteen Two-Part Inventions for didactic purposes, namely the musical instruction of his own sons.

Program Notes : Please note that this score contains suggestions for playing the ornaments in accordance with Baroque performance practice :

  • Measure 15, first beat : Accent and trill, where the first note of the trill (i.e. the upper note) is prolonged


  • Meausre 15, third beat : Mordent which begins on the main note and is played very quickly, with a incisive character. Notice that in the present case, the editor suggests a double mordent


  • Measure 16, first beat : Turn, which is to be played quite rapidly


  • Measure 16, second beat : Doppelt-cadence, a form of trill beginning with a turn, here starting on the lower auxiliary note


  • Measure 33, first beat : Mordent and turn, this time with a single mordent


  • Measure 33, second beat : Doppelt-cadence this time beginning on the upper auxiliary note
Notice also that, in accordance with Baroque performance practice, we suggest that dotted quarter notes be played double-dotted, the following eighth note thus becoming a sixteenth note.
