The Inventions and Sinfonias, BWV 772–801, are a collection of thirty short keyboard compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Invention in E major, BWV 777, is a two-part contrapuntal work. Bach intended them as instructional exercises for his son Wilhelm Friedemann and other students, designed not only to improve their keyboard technique but, more importantly, to teach them how to play in a cantabile style and develop independent voices in both hands. Each invention is built around a single melodic motif that is developed throughout the piece, demonstrating principles of imitation, sequence, and inversion.
