Reinventing the Invention Op 76 by Neil Crossland

In Reinventing the Invention, Neil Crossland reimagines four of J.S. Bach’s celebrated Two-Part Inventions—Nos. 1, 8, 13, and 14. While remaining rooted in Bach’s contrapuntal brilliance, Crossland expands and transforms the material, adding new thematic and harmonic ideas that build upon the originals. The result is a set of four “reinvented” inventions: contemporary reflections on Bach’s ingenuity, bridging Baroque clarity with modern expressive freedom.
