Product description
Since their introduction, Bach's Two-Part Inventions have been an essential resource for developing hand independence and ornamentation technique. Keyboard players have enjoyed these etudes for centuries and now this body of work is available to guitarists in this collection of fifteen pieces. They have been transcribed and arranged for the classical guitar duet by Jerry Willard, and are presented in notation and tab. The title is accompanied by two CDs, the first of which features demonstration recordings of all inventions. The second CD offers single guitar recordings so you can play along.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.
