I will add this site, which shows them visually and plays a recording with the music.  Excellent resource, though not all preludes are present.

If you are interested to hear intervals in just intonation versus equal temperament, go to www.justintonation.net and click on what it sounds like. (not musical, just interesting physics)

You're welcome - I would love it even more if I knew exactly what was happening in each piece though... I wish it could be slowed down!

I have by now read quite a bit of her book and find the information very valuable. Just a few questionable details ;-). I am grateful that she has put it up for free and that "Etudes" showed us the link!

Not that I know of.  :(

The only book I know that goes into some detail on the Inventions (mostly analysis, though, not performance) is Theodore Johnson – “An analytical Survey of the 15 two-part Inventions by JS Bach” (University Press of America).

Recently in this thread:

https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=8d0e07b87fd92541211dbf4c01386d0f&topic=2714.msg105192#msg105192

Josef posted the following information:

“There is a software, it is called J.S. Bach - Die Inventionen, Einführung und Analyse (which means "The Inventions, Introduction in Analysis), I have only the german version, I don't know if there are versions in other languages. This program explains very detailed how the 15 inventions are composed, how you analyse them, including scores and soundfiles (harpsichord).  For further information write an E-Mail: info@capella.de or J.Keitsch@capella.de”

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
