Johann Sebastian Bach

Next Stop: Bach

As a prelude to the two-part inventions.

"When will I finally be able to play Chopin?" The answer is: Right now! — "Next Stop" is our series of easy original piano pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Grieg, and even Chopin. Sooner or later, everyone learning the piano comes across these names; playing them oneself is a cherished goal for nearly all piano enthusiasts of all ages. "Next Stop" offers a collection of pieces particularly well-suited for beginners or those returning to the piano—pieces to help you settle in, discover, and linger. The sheet music in these concise booklets is modeled in both selection and layout on the tried-and-true "Klavierunterricht mit …" series and has been reviewed and revised for the "Next Stop" series. The numerous "Little Preludes and Fugues" composed by Bach for musical education offer the ideal introduction to his music in a concise format. Above all, however, they train hand independence and thus lay the foundation for playing multiple independent voices. The selection made for this booklet introduces three- and four-part composition and is intended as a preliminary step toward the three-part Inventions.
