fingering system for bach

[flapdragon]

i'm trying to tackle the duets by bach which are pretty simple, but the lack of fingering on the sheet music is kind of a problem. i have a decent system down, but i know there's probably a fingering style that would sound better and would be much easier to play—i'm just not sure what it is. i've heard practicing scales in Hanon's books non-stop is the best solution, but is there anything else i can read?

thanks

You can download the Czerny editions of the two part inventions from Pianostreet or IMSLP https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Composers. They come with fingerings. After you've learned a few and experimented with the fingerings you'll learn how to work out your own.

I don't actually think that practicing the Hanon fingering for scales non-stop will help you find good fingerings for the two-part inventions.
