Bach Two and Three Part Inventions Henle Urtext

The Bach Two and Three Part Inventions Henle Urtext Edition is the essential Bach Inventions edition for serious piano students. The Inventions are J.S. Bach's own pedagogical exercises, designed explicitly to teach his students polyphonic playing — the ability to hear and reproduce two or three independent melodic lines simultaneously. The Henle edition reproduces the text from Bach's original autograph manuscript, which reveals significant differences from the corrupted texts that appear in many older editions, and includes performance notes on Bach's own ornamentation and voice leading principles.
