  • Like the ricercares of the Renaissance and early Baroque, Bach’s 15 inventions, performed by various young performers for All of Bach, are experiments (here very concise ones) on a musical idea, a theme and a new way of combining lines. In tiny doses, the player can thus familiarise himself with the effect of music and with Bach’s genius. Bach’s 15 inventions are in the Klavierbüchlein, the exercise book that Bach compiled around 1720 for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann.
    Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 16th 2016 at Ottone, Utrecht. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

      My mother (born 1924) had to spend a lot of time practicing the Inventions when she was a little girl. Her teacher (who happened to be her uncle) made her sit Indian-style on the piano bench so that she couldn't even touch the pedals, in order to get her to perfect her articulation.

    I started harpsichord lessons back in the 1970s when I was in high school. My brother and I were my teacher’s youngest students back then. So heartening to see so many youngsters playing the harpsichord so well now. Excellent articulation, lovely quiet technique. Gustav Leonhardt would be proud. I’m 65 now and I play more piano these days, Chopin and Beethoven, but my harpsichord experience has always informed my understanding and interpretation of the later composers. Whether these kids go on to have careers in music or not - I think many will - they will always have a solid foundation to both play and enjoy music. That’s a wonderful gift to have.
    And I just realize that I’m at the end of this video and I don’t think I’ve heard a single mistake, save for maybe an ornament that didn’t come out quite right, which is amazing. This pieces are simple, but they’re not THAT simple.

      How do you rate the difficulty of playing the Inventions? 10 being hardest

    • @gatesurfer
      @gatesurfer 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@caesarsneezer6992 Technically, maybe a 3-4. The notes are not difficult, but you do have to have a good left hand, since you're not just playing a bass note or chords, you have to play melodies too. But to play these pieces evenly, with clean articulation and a nice touch, as these kids do, is not easy at all. Nothing by Bach is easy because you're so exposed.
      Keyboard players often rush through these pieces, (especially pianists.) Newbies to harpsichord seem to think that the "pluckiness" of the instrument is its most outstanding characteristic, so they play fast to make things plucky. But it just comes out sounding "crunchy" -- lots of noise but not a lot of substance.
      In fact, it's the resonance and the transparency of the sound that is the harpsichord's most beautiful quality, imho, and playing too fast covers that up. It's a plucked instrument, like classical guitar, so you want to hear the crispness of the attack but also the roundness of the sound.
