Description
A powerful, dramatic invention in G minor, its energetic theme passed tightly between the hands in a tense, dialogue-like exchange. Carrying the weight typical of the minor mode, it gives a satisfying sense of rhythmic drive when played with momentum.
A set of 15 two-part counterpoint studies (BWV 772-786) that Bach composed for his son's musical education.
