These  two  and  three  part  inventions  seem  really 
to  have  been  expressly  written  by  J.  S  .  Bach  as 
a  preparation  for  his  pupils  for  his  greater  works, 
particularly  his "Welltempered  Clavichord,"  and 
for  this  purpose  they  cannot  be  too  highly  recom- 
mended. Even  at  the  present  time  a  conscientious 
study  of  these  inventions  will  prove  to  be  of  the 
greatest  advantage,  in  developing  the  musical 
taste  and  finger  technic  of  every  talented  student, 
desirous  of  rising  above  of  mediocrity  In  none 
of  the  easier  modern  works  is  the  left  hand  given 
such  an  independent  treatment  of  the  theme. 

The  title,  with  which  J.  S. Bach    has    prefaced 
these  inventions  reads  literally: 

"A  true  guide  ivherein  it  is  pointed  out   to 
the  lovers  of  the  Clavichord  in  a  clear  man- 
ner, not  only  how  to  play  clearly  in  two  parts, 
but  also  with  further  progression  to  handle 
correctly  and  ivell  three  obligato  parts,  also 
at  the  same  time  ?iot  only  to  acquire  good  in- 
ventions,but  also  how  to  develop  them  well; and 
above  all,  to  gam  a  cantabile  style  in  playing 
and  in  this  connection  obtain  a  strong  fore- 
taste of  the  composition ." 
The  keys  used  in  common  are:   C  major, C min- 
or, D  major,   D  minor,  E\?  ma jor,E major,  EminonFma- 
jor,Fminor,Gmajor>  G  minor,  A  major,  A  minor,    B\> 
major,  B  minor. 

The  two  part  inventions  were  composed  inCoe- 
then,  while  those  in  three  parts  were  probably  not 
finished  until  the  beginning  of  the  Leipzic  period. 
One  of  the  two  original  manuscripts  of  this  work 
isfoundin  the  "Clavierbuchlein  fur  W.  F.  Bach" 
(Coethen,  1720);  the  other,  with  numerous  alter- 
ations, was  formerly  among  the  possessions  of  Ph. 
E.Bach  and  passed  later  into  the  hands  of  L. 
Spohr.  M.  Hauptmann  used  the  latter  as  a  guide 
in  the  critical  comparison  of  this  edition. 


Inhalt. 

I.)    15  Zweistimmige    Inventionen..  Pag.  4 


II.)  15  Dreistimmi&e 


Inventionen 84 


-;«>:■ 


Die  zwei-und  dreistimmigen  Inventionen  scheint 
J.S.Bach  recht  eigentlich  als  Vorbereitung  auf  sei- 
ne grosseren  Werke-namentlich  auf  das  „Wohltem- 
perirte  Clavier"- fiir  seine  Schiller  verfasst  zu  ha - 
ben,und  als  solche  sind  sie  nicht  genug  zu  empfeh- 
len.  Auch  gegenwartig  nochwird  fiir  je den  talent- 
vollen  Zogling  des  Klavierspiels,-das  fleissigeUe- 
ben  dieser  Inventionen, in  Bezugauf  musikalischen 
Gesehmack  und  Finger- Ausbildung  von  grossem 
Nut z en  sein.  Denn  in  keinem  der  neuen,  leich- 
tern  Musikstiicke  ist  der  linken  Hand  eine  so 
selbstandige  Behandlung  des  Themas  zugeteilt, 
als  eben  hierin. 

Der  Titel,  welchen  J.S.Bach  diesen  Inventio- 
nen beilegte,  heisst  wortlich: 

„Aufrichtige  Anleitung  worn  it  denen  Liebha- 
bern  des  Claviers  eine  deutliche  Arth  gezeigt 
wird,  nicht  allein  mit  zwo  Stimmen       reine 
spielen  zu  lernen,sondern  auch  bei    weiteren 
Progressen  mit  dreien  obligaten  Partien  rich- 
tig  und  wohl  zu  verfahren,anbei  auch    slu- 
gleich  gute  Tnventiones  nicht  allein   zube- 
kommen,sondem  auch  selbige  wohl  durchzu- 
fuhren,am  Alter meisten  aber  eine   cantabile 
Arth  im  Spielen  zu  erlangen  und  darneben 
einen  stark  en  Vorsch?nack  von  der    Compo- 
sition zu  iiberkommen ."  — 
Ihre  gemeinschaftlichen  Tonarten  sind:   Cdur, 
Cmoll,  Ddur,  Dmoll,Esdur,  Edur,  Emoll,Fdur,  F- 
moll,  Gdur,  Gmoll,  Adur,  Amoll,  Bdur,  Hmoll . 

Die  zweistimmigen  Inventionen  sind  inCoth- 
enkomponiert  worden,die  dreistimmigen  dagegen 
mogen  erst  zu  Anfang  der  Leipziger  Periode  voll- 
endet  gewesen  sein.  Von  zwei  Originalhandschrif  - 
ten  dieses  Werkes  befindet  sich  die  eine  in  dem 
Clavierbiichlein  fiir  W.  F.  Bach(C6then,1720);die 
andere,  mehrfach  verbesserte,  war  friiher  im  Be  - 
sitze  von  Ph.E.  Bach  und  ging  spater  indie  Hande 
L.Spohr's  iiber,wonach  seiner  Zeit  M.  Hauptmann  fiir 
unsre  Ausgabe  den  kritischenVergleichubernahm.

BOOKS  BY 


E.  ROBERT  SCHMITZ 


7<&  &afitune  o£  Itt&fiOtatiott 

The  Capture  of  Inspiration  proves  that  science  does  not  shackle  art,  but 
provides  it  with  the  power  and  the  means  to  respond  to  the  highest  aesthe- 
tic ideals.  In  this  book  E.  Robert  Schmitz  gives  the  musician  an  understand- 
ing of  the  physical  forces  that  are  the  basic  materials  of  his  art.  His  study 
of  the  physiology  applied  to  pianistic  performance  and  his  investigation 
and  analysis  of  mental  musical  processes  offer  to  the  pianist  greater  re- 
sults from  the  expenditure  of  his  energy;  he  acquires  a  sense  of  technical 
freedom  which  opens  endless  vistas  of  musical  expression.  This  is  a  sig- 
nificant contribution  toward  a  greater  musical  art.  PRICE:  *3.50 


SCHMITZ   EDITION  •  &6*fU*t  ZtucUt 

This  fine  edition  was  inspired  by  Chopin's  letters  and  essays  on  piano  technique.  In  accordance 
with  Chopin's  principles  and  practices,  Mr.  Schmitz  offers  a  flexible  system  of  fingering;  basing 
his  notations  upon  unvarying  structural  characteristics  of  keyboard  and  hand,  he  indicates  the 
fundamental  basis  for  the  selection  of  individual  fingerings.  Each  Etude  is  preceded  by  an 
explanatory  text  which  encourages  a  true  musical  performance.  PRICE:  *2«50 


PRICE:    MI.2."» 


SCHMITZ   EDITION 

These  comparatively  easy  pieces,  which  are  among  the  world's  greatest 
music,  are  attractive  and  constructive  material  for  students.  In  this  edition 
Mr.  Schmitz  phrases  each  separate  musical  segment  and  has  added 
technical  comments  which  meet  the  needs  of  both  the  average  student 
and  the  one  who  is  familiar  with  "The  Capture  of  Inspiration".  The 
comments  are  in  a  separate  folio,  to  avoid  unnecessary  turning  of  pages 
and  to  permit   simultaneous   study  of  the   musical   and   technical   texts.
