Invention n°03 BWV 774

About this work

Open arpeggios give Invention No. 3 in D major its expansive character. The motif jumps from one voice to the other, then turns into stepwise lines; this alternation creates a bright dialogue without permanently assigning either hand an accompanying role.

The form becomes clear by following sequences and modulations. Hear the bass when the motif changes register: it signals the harmony’s new direction. Cadences close stages, yet the rhythm often sets off again before resonance has completely faded.

Prepare wide intervals through a supple lateral movement and group notes towards the top of each arpeggio. Then work on balance by giving each voice the foreground in turn. Clear articulation, little pedal and a steady pulse will keep imitations audible at the chosen tempo.
