Score

Invention No. 14 in B-flat majorBWV 785

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Difficulty 5
  • B-flat major
  • 1 min
  • 20 measures

The fourteenth of Bach's fifteen two-part Inventions, written out fair in 1723. In common time, a B-flat major figure runs in sixteenths and quick thirty-seconds over steady eighths in the other hand; the hands exchange the figure as the music passes through related keys and comes home to B-flat. Edited from the Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1853.
