Bach Invention No.1 BWV 772

Bach's first Invention for keyboard. This two-voiced fugue was designed as an exercise for his sons.

Please rate and comment. I am self-taught from the ground up, so any constructive criticism you can give would help me.

i wish i had this version. . . around measure 15 when the right hand and the left hand alternate the melody equally you have different trills then i have. i'm jealous of your music so i think i'm just going to add what you put in there.

well played!

[GaleoDeus]

Thanks!

Great compliment.

[ralkramralkram]

Very boring and too slow.

[GaleoDeus]

I'm sorry you're bored by it, but as for being to slow...Bach almost never put tempo markings in any of his music, so I'm certainly not playing it too slowly, just too slowly for your tastes.

Heck I play this at almost identical tempo Gould, who often plays Bach too fast.

[Jake7613]

excellent rendition, but I think you missed the c sharp in measure 11. I'm learning this piece too and I did the same exact thing before I caught it

[Darkboy2525]

Well well well .... inventions to after how much year ? once more you are an extremly great musician !! bravo meneer zeer bezienswaardig !!!

[jojolecloune]

too slow!!! gotta play it a bit faster!!! i performed it at the winter concert!! just work on it a bit faster!!

[jojolecloune]

too slow little kid!!!! gana work on it faster!!

[909jamal]

those turns aren't correct



[brunotheiss]

There's a wrong note at 0:45, and I think the mordents aren't meant to be played as if they were thirty-second notes exactly. But I liked the slow tempo!

[pinkellittle]

you have a different variation than mine. Mine doesn't have any mordent or trills . But since it was baroque style back when they didn't have the kind of piano we have now days, my teacher said that the left hand notes supposed to play a slight detached although not as sharp as staccato. I 've been playing this piece for 5-6 years and love it so much :)

[Classicalguy12]

Nice performance, the only thing I would say, is make your trills and mordents a little bit faster, but great :)

[metteholm75]

Very fine speed. I would suggest, that you took a small breath in measure 7, between right hand g and left hand G to give yourself time to end  the introduction

properly.
