Johann Sebastian Bach
Sinfonias (Three Part Inventions)
Bach’s three-part Sinfonias acquaint pianists of every age with the art of playing three equal parts with just two hands – a true phenomenon! It is no accident that these pieces, together with the two-part Inventions, are considered indispensable to every pianist. This beautiful music 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 new Bach – ideal for pianists of every age!
About the Composer
Johann Sebastian Bach
For many musicians he is “the Alpha and Omega of all music” (Max Reger). Except for operas, Bach composed masterpieces for every ensemble and genre of his age. His catalogue of works contains almost 1,100 entries, including the great Passions of St. Matthew and St. Johan, the Goldberg Variations, the Brandenburg Concerti, or hundreds of singular cantatas. As organist in Mühlhausen and Weimar he creates primarily organ compositions, concerti, and works of chamber music. Later, as music director in Köthen and for the decades he serves as cantor in Leipzig, he composes chiefly sacred vocal compositions and keyboard works. His later, contrapuntally complex compositions exert an enormous influence on the compositional styles and practices of later generations.
