Johann Sebastian Bach
Bach's "Invention in F major," BWV 779, is a brief keyboard piece from his collection of two-part contrapuntal compositions known as the "Two-Part Inventions." These inventions were likely created for pedagogical purposes, teaching his students about counterpoint and keyboard technique. While Bach didn't specify the inspiration for this specific invention, it's celebrated for its clear and independent voicings in each hand, making it a valuable study in achieving dexterity and independence in piano playing.

Magdalena Stern-Baczewska shows how the key to mastering the piece's athletic obstacles lies in the cultivation of independence between hands. This physical independence corresponds with the independence of the two moving parts, so that the technical achievement of coordinating the two hands is at once a musical achievement. Through insightful demonstrations, Stern-Baczewska presents you with a regimen for developing your fingers and your ear, and – as always – playing with distinction and good taste.
