Bach’s 15 masterful Sinfonias (also known as "three‑part inventions"), composed between 1720 and 1723 and arranged in ascending key from C major (BWV 787) to B minor (BWV 801). Originally written as pedagogical material for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, these pieces showcase Bach’s genius in counterpoint and melodic invention polished through didactic exercises. "in which amateurs of the keyboard, and especially the eager ones, are shown a clear way not only of learning to play cleanly in two voices, but also, after further progress, of dealing correctly and satisfactorily with three obbligato parts; at the same time not only getting good inventiones, but developing the same satisfactorily, and above all arriving at a cantabile manner in playing, all the while acquiring a strong foretaste of composition.
