Invention No. 8 in F Major, BWV 779
J. S. Bach composed fifteen short pieces named inventions. These pieces are also known as two-part inventions, since they have two different lines repeat and dialogue at each other (counterpoint).
The inventions are basically structured as: a theme that is presented by one hand, and then immediately repeated by the other hand; following to that is the development of that theme; and finally, a recapitulation, where the main theme appears once again.
Welcome to Community Music Centers of Atlanta
CMC Atlanta is a music education company founded in 2007 as the L5P Music Center. In the nearly 20 years since our founding, we've grown from offering music lessons at a single site to a network of local community music schools (Decatur, Dunwoody, Inman Park, Little 5 Points and Brookhaven) that offers an array of innovative, but historically-informed music education programs to students of all ages and skill levels.
