Invention (music)
In music, an invention is a short composition
History
The invention is primarily a work of Johann Sebastian Bach. Inventions originated from contrapuntal improvisations in Italy, especially from the form of the composer Francesco Antonio Bonporti. Bach adapted and modified the form to what is considered to be a formal invention. Bach wrote 15 inventions as exercises for his son, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. These are the most well-known of all inventions. Bach later wrote another set of 15 sinfonias (three-part inventions).
