DCLXXV. BACH, J.S. (1685-1750)
Invention #4, BWV 775 (1723)
Kanji Daito, harpsichord (11 years old)
(1:03)
Originally written as Praeambula and Fantasiae in the Klavierbüchen für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, J.S. later rewrote them as musical exercises for his students:
"Forthright instruction, wherewith lovers of the clavier, especially those desirous of learning, are shown in a clear way not only 1) to learn to play two voices clearly, but also after further progress 2) to deal correctly and well with three obbligato parts, moreover at the same time to obtain not only good ideas, but also to carry them out well, but most of all to achieve a cantabile style of playing, and thereby to acquire a strong foretaste of composition."
