In this lesson, Seymour shares his secrets on Bach’s First Invention. Beginning with Bach’s Preface to his Two- and Three-Part Inventions, Seymour cites Bach’s emphasis on cultivating a “cantabile” touch at the keyboard, and shares a schema for articulation and phrasing with Ben, who seeks to integrate them into his own interpretation.
