Book Description

December 2004 Alfred CD Edition
This historically accurate edition contains a wealth of background information information on ornamentation, dotted rhythms in the Baroque style, and the recommended tempos and guidelines for performing the works on the piano. Bach's writing is carefully separated from the editorial suggestions in light gray print. A wealth of footnotes compare the various sources consulted. Students, teachers and professional pianists will find this volume invaluable. The Alfred Masterwork CD Editions conveniently combine each exceptional volume with a professionally recorded CD that is sure to inspire artistic performances.

Pianist Valery Lloyd-Watts studied at the Conservatory of Music in Toronto and the Royal College of Music in London. She earned a Master of Music degree from the University of Wisconsin, where she studied with Paul Badura-Skoda. She co-authored the text Studying Suzuki Piano: More than Music, which was endorsed by Dr. Suzuki.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, readable notation!, May 12, 2010

Chris (Poughkeepsie, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J. S. Bach: Inventions & Sinfonias (Book & CD) (Alfred CD Edition) (Plastic Comb)
Many of the editions of the inventions that are out there are from very old, dated engravings. This edition has clear, nice-sized notation, good fingering suggestions, and excellent printing quality. I'd highly recommend this edition to any pianist, beginner or advanced!

3.0 out of 5 stars For the beginner/intermediate only, February 8, 2006
By 
This review is from: J. S. Bach: Inventions & Sinfonias (Book & CD) (Alfred CD Edition) (Plastic Comb)
The preface to this edition contains lots of specific information about ornamentation which is a great learning tool. However with regard to the actual music, I found the editor's suggested phrasing, dynamics, and fingering to be a large artistic imposition. Though they are in grey ink to distinguish them from Bach's markings, they still clutter up the page considerably and are hard to ignore. I would prefer to begin learning this music from Bach's notation and interpret from that. A beginning or intermediate student would very probably enjoy the guidance, as the suggestions are not terrible, just not authentic. Avoid this edition if you want a clear presentation of this music the way Bach prepared it.
