Definitely your best one yet!

Bravo! The ending was a little scrappy, but it's actually quite difficult. Well done! Your rhythm was perhaps a touch too mechanical-sounding, but at least it was consistent!

Thanks. I really like schiffs recording of this invention.

The articulation of both hands needs to be more precise because it's broken up too much so it sounds uneven.  Staccato should be shorter, not so rounded.  Left hand too loud.

Thanks for the feedback! I play the left hand loud because a big mistake many baroque players make is playing the right hand much more
strong and loud than the left hand. In Bach's music and esp the inventions the left hand melody/harmony is just as important as the right hand so I figure it should be played with equal force.

The problem doing that is you can't hear the right hand because it's buried with the left.  As well, the actual acoustic sound must be considered/expressed before contrapuntal ideas.

Mate, I enjoyed your playing especially the LH, a good consistent metronome like beat that suits this piece very well. Your digital sound sampling(from the grand) makes the whole picture much much nicer to the listeners.

Nice invention. Good work.

It sounds too mechanical. The left hand doesn't sing to me.

Thanks for sharing.
