2 part inventions like Bach

[point of grace]

hey guys! have you ever compose your own 2 part inventions? i'd like to take a look to some of you... thanks you in advance!

I have not but if you download FinaleNotepad, you can't add a voice. What I understand of them is that bach two-part inventions is that they have a basic structure that fugue with two voices

Actually - For a university assignment - I tried to write a two part invention in the style of Bach.

It's not brilliant, however this was written while I was still a late teen, so I didn't think I did too bad a job.

Tell me what you think.

I like it. Like many of the bach inventions, it first starts in the same pattern of notes for the first few measures and after those first few measures, the second voice kind of goes off on its own. However I think that Prestissimo is a bit fast for a bach invention

[perfect_pitch]

The Prestissimo is probably over the top, but what I should have done was halved the metronone mark but half the note durations, making the first few notes quavers and semiquavers instead of crotchets and quavers...

My bad - didn't get too bad a mark though, so I was pleased with what I did - it was my first time writing in a Baroque style.
