Invention No. 1 in C majorBWV 772

The first of Bach's fifteen two-part Inventions, which he wrote out fair in 1723 as a lesson in playing two parts cleanly and in composing. A short subject in sixteenths passes between the hands, is turned upside down, and travels through G major and A minor before it comes home to C. Edited from the Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1853.
