In this video I cover how to practice the Bach Invention in C Major. It helps to really dissect the piece and see how Bach transformed a single motive into a full piece, to understand and appreciate why these inventions are special and not just "exercises." I am trying out a new series called, "Music Theory Mondays" where I release a video every Monday and address a different topic in music theory. The purpose of these videos is less focused on releasing a finished, perfect product. The purpose is to disperse information to the public in an improvisatory and casual manner. No video editing or retakes allowed. This is me as I am in real life. Want me to cover something? Post your suggestions in the comments!
