Johann Sebastian Bach: Sinfonias

In the original title to these works, the composer called them “A faithful guide, whereby admirers of the harpsichord are shown a plain method of learning not only to play clean in two Parts, but likewise in further Progress to manage three obbligato Parts well and correctly, and at the same time not merely how to get good Inventions, but also how to develop the same well; but above all, to obtain a cantabile style of playing, and together with this to get a strong foretaste of composition."
Bach used them in his teaching as a first step on the way to playing more complex contrapuntal works, such as the Well-Tempered Clavier.
Both the two-part Inventions and the three-part Sinfonias are arranged in order of ascending key, each group covering fifteen major and minor keys.

xx bach sinfonias
October 19, 2006, 11:01:58 PM by marco_from_brazil

hi all!

as a (re)beginning Bach loving pianist, I've been working on the sinfonias lately. I've got the A minor, pretty much learned, now I'm polishing the finer details, like, making the themes sing when they come up. The problem is the other one, D major, I guess that I haven't played a contrapuntal piece that's as fast before ( I play the D major fugue, pretty much andante ), so fingers all twirl up, problems holding notes correctly.

So I was wondering how do you guys practice those pieces, take bar after bar, play it slowly, hands separate and such? maybe I should try a slightly easier but still "frisky" invention before taking on this one? in that case I'm all for suggestions. lets discuss! =)

cheers

xx Is it a sin to learn Bach with dynamic markings ?
October 05, 2006, 03:52:27 PM by psaiko

I have very little experience with Bach and Im going to play some 3-part inventions before I start on wtc.

I came across some notes which has tempo and dynamic markings on it. Will it destroy my interpretation by learning from these notes? For the moment I dont have a teacher, so it will be difficult knowing how to interprete without these hints.
