Bach’s Inventions, intended for teaching purposes, stand as a monument to
the creation of musical ideas and their development. Sir András Schiff’s recital
also explores the breath-taking range of creativity in Bartók’s folksong-inspired miniatures, the first volume of Janácˇek’s On an overgrown path (Book I) and the eighteen peerless character pieces of Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze.
