J.S. Bach - 2 part inventions group
Hello everyone! I've been thinking about deepening my J.S Bach skills from the ground up, and will start with the 2-part inventions. Does anyone want to join? The idea is to start a practice diary dedicated to the 2-parts inventions. My goal is to get threw all of them, but you can of course practice how many you want! It's nice to have a time limit just to be accountable, so I'm thinking 2 months. That will be 18. july - 18 september. One or two updates a week would be great to stay in the flow. Who's in? :) PS: If you're on vacation and want to join at a later date, is absolutely fine! (PS: I've played the first one a little bit, but the others will be new to me)

Great to be part of this Bach adventure. My plan is simple: I will just start with the first one and see how far I will get (without being too much of a perfectionist) :) and I will also be away for two weeks without a piano in t he middle of August. So if I’m allowed I would like to add a couple of weeks in September. Will we upload here or in the diary?

Sindre Skarelven has inspired me to try...

Wonderful! Love how you stay away from the pedal… with the tempo and the lovely trills, this sounds nice and crisp. Speaking of fingerings, I think in general it would be a great idea for people to share their fingerings. It’s great to see the choices people make. I still prefer 5 —> 3 in the first invention.

Hi everyone,
I have really enjoyed listening to all the recordings so far. There’s much going on in these short pieces. So here is the first one in C major.

Thank you for your supportive comments. Here’s another one. I love the falling interval at the beginning of the second bar from Bb to C#. After the scale in the first bar it is not what you expect. Very dark…
