Bach -- Two-Part Inventions: Book & CD: Klavier/Piano (incl. Online Audio)

v good

I know that the most serious piano students gravitate toward Henle editions, mainly because they’re written for performance. Alfred Masterworks guide students through a small bit of history, and a good amount of technique while still leaving the copy clean and bold enough to be easily read.I can’t say enough about Bach’s inventions....they’re such a gift and learning to play them is like taking piano lessons from JS Bach. Every time I master one, I want to throw a party for myself. They’re each two pages long and vary in difficulty. Most are very easy to listen to, pleasing the people with whom you share a room.This is a great book for learning and training...then Henle can be used for performance.

I haven’t played these in years, and I wanted to try them again—they provide a great brain exercise! The layout is great, and the fingering—at least on invention #1, is very helpful—I didn’t need to change anything!

My kid's piano teacher requested us to purchase this book for him. I didn't know that it came with a CD, but I am glad it did. He likes to be able to listen to it before his lessons.

This is a great edition of Bach's inventions, at the begining I thought that I had wasted my money because you can find these sheets everywhere in the web but when I saw the quality of the printing I got totally surprised, the information at the begining of the book is incredible and the CD has excellent interpretations of the Bach's pieces, Buy it, you will be totally happy with it.
