Bach on the Bass: Two- and Three-Part Inventions  
10:00 am - 11:15 am Pacific/11:00 am - 12:15 pm Mountain/12:00 pm - 1:15 pm Central/1:00 pm - 2:15 pm Eastern
Johann Sebastian Bach's two-part inventions and three-part sinfonias provide recorder players and other non-keyboard instrumentalists with a wonderful collection of pieces to play. Over these four weeks we'll work on two of the two-part inventions (new pieces for those who took this class in January) and two of the three-part sinfonias on our bass recorders.  Part of our work will involve making decisions on how to deal with parts that go out of our range, learning how to make changes that retain the beauty of the line, and making decisions on articulation and phrasing based on an understanding of the melodic and harmonic underpinnings of the piece. We'll also exercise our skills on switching from bass clef to treble clef by playing all parts of the inventions. Along the way we'll continue to work on good bass technique.

Geared toward bass recorder players who are familiar with bass clef and fingerings for a chromatic scale from the low F to the F two octaves higher.
