5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, readable notation!
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
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...

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.
