Piano Practice Tips - Bach Invention 1 (Intermediate)

With Bach, you've got to take it apart to put it together! This time I'm sharing my practice tips for the Two-Part Invention No. 1 in C-major, BWV 772 (ca. 1720-23) by J.S. Bach.💚🎹 (Note: in the score with my green markings, there are 2 notes in the fourth beat of the left hand in m. 12 which should also be green. These are the G-sharp and A. Also, the descending B-flat, A, G and F in the fist half of m. 21, right hand, should also be green. Darned touch screen marker and eraser are so sensitive!)
