Invention No. 13 in A Minor BWV 784

Invention No. 13 in A Minor BWV 784 is a two-voice keyboard piece by J.S. Bach, originally composed for harpsichord or clavichord as part of his set of two-part inventions designed to teach counterpoint and independent hand technique. On electric guitar, it offers a rewarding challenge in voice separation, finger independence, and melodic phrasing. Its compact structure and interweaving lines make it an excellent study piece for guitarists looking to strengthen technical precision and musicality.

  • Bach wrote his two-part inventions partly as teaching pieces, making BWV 784 a structured exercise in counterpoint and independent voice control.
  • Arranged for electric guitar, this piece demands clean separation of two simultaneous melodic lines across the fretboard.
  • Bach's instrumental output spanned organ, harpsichord, lute, and strings — his keyboard writing adapts naturally to fretted instruments.
