Bach, JS :: Bach 3-Part Inventions, Vol III
Bach, JS
Musicians Publications presents Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Three-Part Inventions, Volume 3' which includes Inventions 11-15 arranged for woodwind quartet by Jerry Nowak. Scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, this arrangement also includes an optional bass clarinet part to substitute for the bassoon, and an optional clarinet part to replace the oboe when desired.
The fifteen Bach 'Three-Part Inventions' (ideas) were originally entitled 'Sinfonias' and written for the piano. The source for these versions for woodwind quartet was the urtext published by C.F. Peters. In his commentary, Bach hoped that the study of these pieces would help players achieve a 'cantabile' style of playing and a better understanding of music composition. The original version had no tempo or style indications and no dynamics or articulations. Other published versions contain tempo markings, style indications, dynamics, slurs, and articulations that were added later by Bach's family members, his students, or editors. Invention Number Five is as Bach wrote it without numerous decorations which were added later. Invention Number 15 has been set in nine-eight rather than the original meter of nine-sixteen.
