The fourth of Bach's fifteen two-part Inventions, written out fair in 1723. In 3/8, a D minor subject runs up and down in sixteenths and is taken up by the other hand two bars later; in the middle, one hand holds a long tied note through several bars while the other runs on, before the music closes in D minor. Edited from the Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1853.
