Bach’s E-major Invention combines a descending, syncopated melody with a steadily rising counterline. Its small three-beat measures contain a delicate interplay of tied notes, short rests, and quick ornamental figures.
The first repeated section exchanges the two opening ideas between the voices and develops them through sequences. The second section begins with their roles reversed, then expands into more chromatic passages and longer runs. The opening contours become recognizable again near the close, with the two lines converging on a firm E-major cadence.
An interesting detail is its repeated two-part design: both large sections have repeat marks, giving the opening ideas a second hearing within each half.
