Sinfonia No. 1 BWV 787 JS Bach

Bach wrote the Two and Three Part Inventions for his son, Wilhelm. They form the basis for learning counterpoint. Forthright instruction, wherewith lovers of the clavier, especially those desirous of learning, are shown in a clear way not only 1) to learn to play two voices clearly, but also after further progress 2) to deal correctly and well with three obbligato parts, moreover at the same time to obtain not only good ideas, but also to carry them out well, but most of all to achieve a cantabile style of playing, and thereby to acquire a strong foretaste of composition.
