Score

Invention No. 13 in A minorBWV 784

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Difficulty 6
  • A minor
  • 1 min
  • 25 measures

The thirteenth of Bach's fifteen two-part Inventions, written out fair in 1723. In common time, one hand breaks A minor chords in leaping sixteenths while the other answers in eighths; the hands exchange these roles as the music passes through related keys and comes home to A minor. Edited from the Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1853.
