xx Trills in Bach Inventions No 4 in D minor and No 7 in E minor
February 24, 2011, 04:15:52 AM by shaunarundell

I have come back to these inventions as I want to improve my long trills and both these rather famous inventions have a number of multi-bar trills in both the treble and bass.

I am using the Alfred edition, as it has quite a deal of pedagogical material around ornaments including suggested renditions of these trills in question.

The edition suggests a trill with 2 or 4 to the quaver (8th note) for No. 4 and 3 (accented as triplets)to the quaver for No 7.

I can't see any particular reason for the differencing suggestions in the time signatures, style, motif, etc in each of the pieces. The only thing I can think of is that the editors might see the trill in No.7 requiring a more rapid flow ?.

Enlighten my confusion.

xx Bach Inventio no. 4
July 12, 2005, 08:58:21 PM by lucasdopandeiro

Hi everybody!

Here is me playing Bach's two-part invention number 4, the one in D minor. I'm expecting comments, please, don't be shy!

Sorry for the quality of the recording, it was done in my bedroom with a poor mic. I'll study some ways to improve the sound.

Thanks in advance,
Lucas Reis

xx Notes to Bach Invention No. 4
May 20, 2005, 02:48:06 AM by eins

I've got to start somewhere, so why not start with the right piece! Where can I find Bach's Invention No. 4 to print? Preferrably a version that has the intendedly difficult fingering. Thanks

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist
Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

Robert York, pianist

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
