§ Improvising Two Part Invention

created 2025-11-16
  • Practice moving with a distance of 3rd and 6th between the two voices.
  • First practice 3ds and 6th separately. So practice playing a song together with all thirds.
  • Then practice playing a song together with all sixths.
  • Next, learn to combine thirds and sixths. So switch between 3rds and 6ths at appropriate places.
  • Now, add accidentals when moving with the right hand, before reaching a note.
  • Once we can do this with the right hand, also add accidentals to the left hand.
  • Try switching between left and and right hand being the "leader".
