Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What level do I need to be to play these?
Intermediate. You should read treble and bass fluently and have played pieces with independent hand parts. Most students reach the Two-Part Inventions after several years of lessons.
02Does it include all fifteen Inventions?
It covers the Two-Part Inventions and the Three-Part Inventions (Sinfonias) in one volume.
03Is the CD a play-along or a performance recording?
It is a recorded audio companion to the printed pieces, useful as a reference for tempo and interpretation.
04Can I start with the Three-Part Inventions?
Most players work through the two-voice pieces first. Three voices means tracking a third independent line, often split between the hands.
