    The bass voice leading to the cadence is just amazing. Bach has the best melodic, fluid basslines.

      Bach didn't write a tempo for this piece, but most interpretations write at least vivace for it. I personally can barely do a clean allegretto at certain parts of this piece, though I'm trying to get it faster.
      As Bach's inventions are mainly considered as exercises and help tremendously in improving technical ability and learning independent hand motion, I guess it's fair to treat it more like a technical exercise and try to increase the tempo as much as possible while maintaining correct rhythm and playing the notes clearly. If you look at it that way, there's no right or wrong tempo for this piece!

    Yet another piece of music that I loved to play. I was 12 when I played this. I had to wait for my oldest sister to finish the book. We couldn't afford many books of our very own. I played this at festival, an annual event at another university. We were judged and given certificates. The highest was Superior Rating 😊❤Yes, indeed I was Superior Rating. ❤I played Rondo rather than scales, to calm my energy for my piano lessons. My teacher knew, piano was my way of communicating feelings. I would take one piece of music and play it 10 different ways, depending on what I was feeling, thereby, not being punished. So, I would have 5 pieces to practice and learn each week. They were all quite different. She could tell how I was doing by which song was practiced the most. If it was Chopin's Nocturno, or one of many 2 and 3 part Inventions, or a Fugue. My orchestra teacher also picked up on this, despite never saying a word. She tricked me into an audition for the Annual Youth Symphony. We played our usual duets, that required me to also play parts of the second violins, on my viola. I didn't know we were going to play my cello, so I didn't bring my books. I got one of my piano books out and played the first song. It was "The Swan". I didn't know it was a famous cello piece. I received first chair on any instrument I chose. I chose viola so my friends could participate, 1 violin, 1 cello...both first chair.😊❤

    To take such a simple concept of a canon and make it into this piece of art is something only Bach could have thought of.

      This was the first song of Bach that I learned in early teens. I didn't have the sheet music, but I had an old LP record of it, and learned by listening repeatedly, first concentrating on the right hand notes, then the left, matching the notes on the piano, putting both to memory. I took a long time, was total beginner. I didn't know how to read music yet! So this song is deeply ingrained in my consciousness. It rings with sublime and noble beauty. Wonderful rendition.

    Why is the theme of the left hand always soft?? Is that on purpose? Because I was told to play it also louder, so it stands out.. So I am curious why you do it this way

    This is essentially a hand synchronization routine.

    Why do you think invention # 13 is the most popular one?

    I'm playing all the inventions through at the moment and I've played the first one succesfully but I'd wish to know should I play them in order or some way else? By the way, greetings from Finland!

      I'm recording the complete set at the moment. Highly recommended to play them in order from 1 to 15 as they do get progressively more complex and challenging. Another useful thing about learning them in order is they go through the keys from left to right, starting from C major with no. 1 on to B minor for no. 15

    Hello! Love your performance. I noticed in your right hand that you are playing the staccato notes more legato e.g. 3rd and 7th measures. Is this correct? I love how this sounds. When I play, my notes are lighter and more staccato.

    Is it should be E flat on left hand at measure 32? Cause its sounds better then my normal E at Henel Verlag edition🌚
