Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Millions of piano students have made themselves crazy trying to play these instructional pieces, which are also little gems of the highest artistic quality. Bach wrote them for his own children as practice exercises--practice not only of keyboard technique, but also of compositional skill. That means that the quality of the music is part of the lesson, and this sets Bach's instructional works apart from mere "finger exercises." Bach's intention here is to cultivate an absolute independence of the two hands, and in the three-part inventions--which frustrated pianists claim require three hands to play--the ability to project three distinct musical voices clearly. Blandine Verlet is no student, of course, and her performances remind us that there wasn't a single thing Bach did that failed to rise to the level of art. --David Hurwitz
