Invention No. 4, Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Paul Burnell for Duet - instrument in Eb, instrument in Bb

Download comprises both score and parts

Duration 1:30

Part 1 in Eb (Alto Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Horn)
Part 2 in Bb (Bass Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, Euphonium)

The arrangement may be suitable for other instruments with the same transpositions.

Score shows parts transposed.

The original manuscript score does not contain slurs, mordents, dynamics or tempo markings. Performers may prefer to perform all the notes tongued and at any convenient tempo or dynamic

This arrangement has been transposed from the original key of D Minor and certain notes in Part 2 part have been further transposed at the octave.

Programme note:

The Inventions and Sinfonias, also known as the Two- and Three-Part Inventions, are a collection of thirty short keyboard pieces by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). The original manuscript is dated 1723. They were first written as 'Praeambula' and 'Fantasiae' in a collection for his son Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, and later rewritten as musical exercises for his students. The fourth Invention (BWV 775) is in D Minor, but the key has been transposed for this duet arrangement.
