In this composer insights lesson we explore Bach’s two part invention in A minor. We work through the contrasting motives and how Bach alternates them to create conversation within the texture. We also learn how Bach spells out harmony within the melodic lines. Additionally we work through how Bach uses motivic ideas in a contracted way to highlight the cadential points. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kvHi6INrBYiwFETTyk0ZgWOMIeP7MGgZ/view?usp=sharing 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to Bach's use of texture 1:22 - Repeated ideas 4:40 - Disjunct movement 7:57 - Clever little details 8:27 - Two-part texture design 9:31 - Simple harmony 10:00 - How he changes the original ideas 13:02 - A look through the rest of the piece 15:12 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
