Summary of This Sheet Music
This edition brings together all 15 Inventions and 15 Sinfonias by J. S. Bach for solo piano, covering a progressive and musical journey at the heart of polyphonic writing. The Inventions (BWV 772 to 786), in two voices, allow refinement of rhythmic precision, clarity of phrasing, and the leading of each melodic line. The Sinfonias (BWV 787 to 801), in three voices, further deepen inner listening, the hierarchy of sound layers, and the management of contrapuntal texture.
Through a variety of keys (major and minor) and characters, this collection serves as an essential tool to build a solid and musical technique: control of touch, quality of attack, articulation (notably in imitative passages), management of ornaments, and sense of breathing. The musicological edition by Rudolf Steglich is aimed at pianists who wish to work on these pieces seriously, whether in a pedagogical setting (conservatory, music school) or independently, while staying as close as possible to Bach's spirit.
