Unusually, Bach begins this Invention with the bottom part having very little to do -- a tiny four-note accompaniment figure spaced between long rests, while the top line twirls gently up and down the staff. But soon a brief call and response passage confuses the issue, and the main melody emerges in the bottom, with the top part now playing accompaniment. The top regains control of the melody, but the bottom, reluctant to relinquish the spotlight, maintains a steadier accompanying line and eventually joins the top part in a closer canonic relationship through the piece's final bars. In a minute and a half, Bach has managed to survey the development of the bottom part, from rudimentary support for the melody line to fully equal and integrated partnership with the top part.

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