[Bach 2 Part Invention #3: CW Hansen]
Two Part Invention #3 (48" X 14") by CW Hansen

     . . . This investigation has led to my contemplation of music as an example of a very highly structured art form, in which a linear sequence of notes is communicated to the performer through a very abstract form of notation, and it occurred to me that this process was very similar to my approach to art, as a series of forms and colors, replete with potential meaning and possibilities . .  .

J. S. Bach's Two Part Inventions were originally intended to serve as relatively short exercises to prepare his students for his more complex works in the Well Tempered Clavier.
