JS Bach, 15 Sinfonias

(3 part Inventions)

Originally for keyboard alone.

This transcription extracts the "first part" and prints it separately
to be played by a flute or other treble instrument.
The original has also been transcribed for a piano to accompany the
flute. The piano score has the "second part" on treble and the "third
part" on the bass clef of the grand staff. The flute part is also included
in smaller size above the piano grand staff.
This companion book for the piano is also available.
In addition, an audio cd has been made where the flute is in the right
channel, and the piano accompaniment in the left channel. This cd
is useful as a practice tool to let either player practice with a recording
of the other part.
Only 2 of the original keys were changed.
Number 15 went from B minor to E minor so no octave jumps are needed
by the flute.
Number 6 was changed from E to F for convenience.

These pieces are a nice addition to the flute literature as study, encore or
concert pieces.

The transcription matches the notes of the Henle Urausgabe version.

revised October 2008.
