Topic: New Bach Video - Invention n 9 in F minor BWV 780

Dear Friends,

Invention No. IX is described as "mild and composed" , as "tender", as being "full of impassioned strains of sadness, which rise to a great intensity of effect in bars 21 to 26". Bodky comments: "It is this [pathos and declamation] which must have caused Bach to distinguish the Invention in f minor with so many slurs for articulation".
Enjoy your listening & Greetings from Italy

My actual setting is:

Played on Yamaha P125 piano stage                                          Video Recording Samsung Galaxy A54.
VST: Bösendorfer  VC 280 Pianoteq Stage 8.4

The introspective and melancholic Bach I like. Nice.

Thank you carmelo, to me, a soothing performance. Beautiful.
It is short, but I think it would be very hard for me…..because……well, Bach wrote it.
Anyway, you Carmelo are the best. You are my idol in this genre.

Best wishes,

Stig

P.S. I hope you have time to take part in the Contest. I have already uploaded my entry.

Thank you so much for your comment, Stig!
It's truly a very intimate piece by the Leipzig Kantor.
It's challenging, but not difficult, and above all, it's very useful for hand training.
I've already prepared my piece; I was hesitant until the end, but I've chosen. I hope you like it: it's a piece that perfectly represents Bach's character for me... I'll post it this week.
Greetings from Italy
Carmelo
