The top part dominates this Invention, with the bottom part accepting a subsidiary but hardly dull role. The bottom tends to echo the top's rhythms and melodic contours a few beats behind, without precisely duplicating the melody. So although Bach here works with a greater variety of note values and rests than is common in his Inventions, he achieves a sense of constant forward motion by having one part continue to chug away when the other is elongating a note or pausing for a beat.

Although originally composed for Harpsichord, I created this arrangement for Viola Duet.
