The Inventions and Sinfonias
(BWV 772–801)
This is a music video of the invention in A minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Inventions and Sinfonias is a collection of short pieces Bach wrote for the musical education of his young pupils. These are among the finest examples of artistic gems ever written for this purpose, and probably because of this, they became very popular among Bach’s pupils and others ever since they were written.
The work comprises fifteen two-part, each named ’inventio’, and fifteen three-part pieces, named ’sinfonia’. These two groups of pieces are arranged in an identical fashion—in ascending order by key—so that there is little doubt that Bach’s intention was to bring them together as a single work. This is also confirmed by the way they are carefully written in his autograph fair copy penned in 1723. On every facing page of an open volume each piece demonstrates the contrapuntal technique, while, at the same time, explores a wide range of musical expressions using various styles and developing the motives in a logical fashion.
Like the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Inventions and Sinfonias did not appear in print during his lifetime. Nevertheless, it was widely disseminated in manuscript copies even before its first publication in 1801 and ever since the work has been widely used for the teaching of young musicians. At the present time, however, some concerns are expressed frequently regarding its proper use, as to what extent Bach’s intentions are being understood correctly. It is sad to discover that the work is often regarded as a dry, technical exercise for the independence of two hands. In order to enjoy the real benefit from this highly renowned teacher, one ought to make every effort to try to understand his music wholeheartedly by searching for Bach’s sense of judgement. Only by succeeding with this enquiry, can one learn from this work a universal principle of music, which, in turn, gives us a sense of true appreciation of music as well as encouragement for further study.
The inventions were composed in Köthen; the sinfonias, on the other hand, were probably not finished until the beginning of the Leipzig period. The autograph fair copy is dated 1723.

Short Bio:
Nenad Leonart is a baroque musician on harpsichord and organ based in Switzerland. He was born in Nis (Serbia) and studied ancient music and harpsichord in the University of Arts Zurich (ZHdK). Since last year, he has started his own series of concerts in his home studio and moved into the music video production business.
For these videos, I got inspired - among others - by the Netherlands Bach Society. I have no ties or connections to their organisation whatsoever, although I personally know and also admire several artists performing at the “All of Bach“ series.
