Invention No. 1 in A minor

Featured Replies

'S a short, sweet, neo-Baroque piece (Bach's two-part inventions, hint, loose ABAC form). My counterpoint isn't perfect, but it's suitable. If you can play this in time, I swear, I'll worship you.

Impressive, but surprisingly difficult to play. Not even my toccattas are that complex. It has a baroque feel of it's own and it's suitable for an Invention.

I would reccomend: you must build up a repeat somewhere at the end. It's very short, so I would suggest a ABACAC.

Indeed, this is a pretty good start, so you can add something else to make it more lively.

Cheers! and keep working.

I suppose, but mostly, this was an intellectual exercise, testing my counterpoint and modulation techniques, which are quite primitive, I must say. I guess I can bulk this up, scatter some dynamics, etc.

At least, your counterpoint skills are better than mine. I think, also, that it would sound much better on a Harpsichord rather than Pianoforte

The counterpoint is actually barely Baroque.

very nice piece. the counterpoint is very good!
