Bach Inventions
Ninja October 15th, 2008
I was driving to work and had the urge to listen to some Vivaldi. At a stop light, I started fumbling through my bin searching for the right CD. Almost all my classical CDs look the same (just the track titles silkscreened on the CD face). I accidentally put in my Bach Inventions disk and woah, what a flashback!
When I was younger, like every other Asian kid in the neighborhood, I was forced to learn the piano. I used to hate it, but now I really miss it. When I was about 10 or 11, Bach 2-part inventions were some of my favorite things to play.
Bach’s Two-Part Invention no. 1 in C is the first invention I ever learned to play.
My teacher was convinced that I would grow up to be some great mathematician because she thought Bach’s inventions would stimulate that part of the brain. Boy, was she wrong.
Daydreaming away,
