Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Difficulty 6
  • F major
  • 1 min

The eighth of Bach's fifteen two-part Inventions, written out fair in 1723. A lively F major subject climbs a chord in eighths and runs back down in sixteenths, the other hand follows it a bar later, and the music travels to C major and through minor keys before it comes home to F. Edited from the Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1853.
