J.S. Bach

Keyboard Music

This is really a grab-bag of various keyboard pieces, including the 2-part inventions, the 3-part sinfonias, plus some fugues from the harpsichord toccatas, the two ricercars from the Musical Offering, plus a bunch of organ fugues. The big claim to fame here is that everything is in OPEN SCORE (even the 2-part Inventions!). If you’re learning to perform this music, you’ve probably already gone out and bought whatever pieces you need. But for study purposes, even if your ultimate goal is performance, being able to see each part on its own staff will definitely improve the quality of your musical existence. Have fun.

Bach: 3 harpsichord fugues, open score
Description BWV 903 in D minor (from the Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue), BWV 904 in A minor, BWV 914 in E minor. That's all I've had time for, but I hope to add more. I really like the fugues in the toccatas.
