Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Editor: Georg von Dadelsen
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Piano

The Inventions and Sinfonias, contemporaneous with the first part of the Well-tempered Clavier, even more than the latter indicate clearly that keyboard instruction in Bach's day was at the same time instruction in composition. The musical text of the present edition follows Bach's fair copy of 1723 and includes in the Appendix ornamented versions from manuscripts from Bachs circle.
