Sinfonia No. 13

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)

S. Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. The two-part, or voiced, Inventions and the three-part Sinfonias, are a collection of thirty short keyboard compositions that Bach wrote for his students. They are a staple of the piano student repertoire.

The two groups of pieces are each arranged in order of ascending key, each group covering eight major and seven minor keys. The Sinfonia No. 13 is in A minor. The short theme is established right at the start in the right hand. If you listen carefully, you will hear the theme restated in the different vocal lines.

Audio file may take a few moments to fully buffer before ready to play.
