Bach Inventions

[toby1]

Hi All, I'm currently practicing some two part inventions, #s 12 and 14 atm.

I've also done others in the past. Is anyone else playing them? Enjoy them or not?

 My goal is to eventually move on to 3 part inventions and then the Preludes and Fugues with the Italian Concerto sitting in the distance.

On that note what order would you approach them?

The two part inventions, musically speaking, for me are a bit of an acquired taste. I very much like the F minor, E flat major, B minor, G minor, A minor, and E minor.
The 3 part inventions I care less for. They're very similar to 3 voice fugues, as seen in the C minor P&F.
The WTC, of course, is a must have for all pianists, but you already knew that 
What order? I'd do them in order, starting from the C major. I haven't done that, though, but I'm planning to do so once I'm done with one of my current projects.
Keep in mind, the Two part inventions were Bach's pedagogy. They weren't the only things he used, but the material was a large part of how he taught.
