Bach two basics

November 27, 2022 9:37 PM

Bach: 15 Two-Part Inventions, BWV 772-786....is a Youtube playlist that presents the score of each Invention as the piano music plays. Additionally, each link contains two further links. One shows in color a musical analysis of the Invention, and another has fingering for the piano student.

Thanks for the post; these are interesting. I’m curious as to who the actual performer/s is/are. I see that the videos and channel are owned by Bach Piano Scores but I don’t see any performers listed by name.
Is it AI generated?

I was curious to know too. The site says the music is in the public domain. I have doubts that it would be AI.

I'm pretty sure the recordings are just a replay of the score through a piano sampler. There are no dynamics, the tempo is constant (even at the end of each piece), and every ornament is identically executed — molto MIDIoso as they say.

This will come in handy the next time I read Gödel, Escher, Bach.
