BWV 778 - BACH Invention 7 in E minor MANUSCRIPT harpsichord
BWV 778 - Invention No. 7 in E Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): This hauntingly beautiful composition in E minor is the seventh of Bach's Inventions, featuring a complex melody and intricate harmonies that showcase the composer's mastery of counterpoint. Read along this Bach invention with the original manuscript from 1724 and see how the music looked like when it was taught back in the day; the goal was to create a score following video of the original historical content and sheet music.

Music and video were recorded in the Leonart Studio (Switzerland) on a historic 1624 Ruckers harpsichord model built by Matthias Griewisch (2019). The manuscript is from c. 1724, D-B Mus.ms. Bach P 219 (Berlin, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz)

This is a music video of the invention in e minor. The Inventions and Sinfonias, BWV 772–801, also known as the Two- and Three-Part Inventions, are a collection of thirty short keyboard compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750): 15 inventions, which are two-part contrapuntal pieces, and 15 sinfonias, which are three-part contrapuntal pieces. They were originally written as musical exercises for his students.
Bach titled the collection:
Forthright instruction, wherewith lovers of the clavier, especially those desirous of learning, are shown in a clear way not only 1) to learn to play two voices clearly, but also after further progress 2) to deal correctly and well with three obbligato parts, moreover at the same time to obtain not only good ideas, but also to carry them out well, but most of all to achieve a cantabile style of playing, and thereby to acquire a strong foretaste of composition.
The two groups of pieces are both arranged in order of ascending key, each group covering eight major and seven minor keys.
The inventions were composed in Köthen; the sinfonias, on the other hand, were probably not finished until the beginning of the Leipzig period. The autograph fair copy is dated 1723.
