Invention 3, BWV 774 -- Urtext
Two-Part Invention No. 3 in D Major - Inventio 3
Please note that this score contains suggestions for playing the ornaments in accordance with Baroque performance practice :- Mordents (measures 3 and 45) are played very quickly, with a incisive character
- Trills (measures 4, 11, 22, etc.) are played ON the beat and begin on the upper auxiliary note
- Appoggiaturas (measures 4 and 46) are played ON the beat and take up one half of the main note's value
- Turns (measures 11, 39, 40 and 53) begin on the note above the principal note, and are played quite rapidly
Furthermore, the value of the dot should be lengthened in a cadential trill, thus making the sixteenth note become a thirty-second note.
