Reviews about Two Part Inventions:

good arrangement by virg * VSM MEMBER * on September 2020

haven't played them yet, but I like the looks of the bowings and the written-out ornamentations. Some of the keys are different from the original but I suspect that's to fit them into bottom of viola range. I have another edition which has way too many slurs - this one keeps it simple. And it's such great music, good to have for this duo combo for more advanced players (goes to 4 & 5 flats)

Strongly recommended by Jon Scaife on April 2018

Excellent duo arrangements of these Bach little masterpieces.

A challenge by M Baguley * VSM MEMBER * on January 2018

The Inventions are a challenge - but an interesting one. Excellent for improving sight reading. Well worth the effort.

Great fun to play by Karen Thomson on September 2016

The arrangement style is a little unexpected - trills and ornaments written out, for example - but they are great to have.

Nice duo arrangements by Bill on May 2012

This was a nice set it came with violin and viola parts separately and one with both parts together. Everyone recognizes these classic Bach pieces. Some of them sound a little like exercises but they're perfectly fine for incidental music and we chose two of them to play at a memorial service. Who doesn't love to play, or hear, Bach.

Good vln/vla duo by Jeannetta on March 2010

This is a great set of pieces to use in a vln/vla duo recital. use 3 per concert - choose the ones you like and relate to. speed and clarity of execution are essential.

Glorious Bach! by Kerrie Davies on November 2008

A timely transcription of Bach's inimitable two part writing. The effect when played in violin and viola duo is exhiliarating. Looking forward to three part inventions with the addition of cello.
