Invention No. 2 in C Minor piano sheet music

Bach wrote the fifteen two-part inventions as lessons for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, to teach clean playing in two voices and, as his title page says, a singing style. No. 2 in C minor is a canon: the left hand plays the right hand's long melody two bars later, so each hand has to be heard on its own. The score is two pages.
