Invention BWV 779 No.8

Johann Sebastian Bach

What's this piece like?
The theme of this invention requires careful shaping to maintain a light texture: a slight emphasis on the moving 8th notes (beats 3 and 4) will accentuate the upward motion of the melody. Additionally, a crescendo towards the top will add a welcome detail, making the line sound natural and more exciting.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
