What is the Analysis of invention no 13 in A minor Bach?

This piece is in the key of A minor, and is in simple quadruple metre, known as common or 4/4 time. The tempo is allegro - 100 crotchet bpm, and there are no changes to the tempo. There is a definite strong beat however there are accents used with 'off-beat' rhythms to avoid a sense of repetition. The composer predominantly uses short notes, which are quavers and semiquavers. The reason in using such short notes is that Bach wrote this piece of music for the harpsichord, which had no pedal to join notes, and the note had a very short natural sustain time. The lack of dynamics is also due to the design of the harpsichord. The rhythmic texture is polyrhythmic, which means the right hand and left hand are playing independently, but there is a call and response between them, which helps to join the musical phrases. The recurring use of sequences adds interest to the music, as was often the case with Baroque music.

What was Johann Sebastian Bach impact on age?

Bach was the culmination of the Baroque period. By that I mean he took the musical forms available to him (those in use at the time) and took them to "the limit." He did not develop any new forms. However, musical tastes were changing and his music fell into disuse as out-dated/old-fashioned. Along with those changes, Bach was a "working" musicians, meaning he composed for the task at hand, a concert for a noble benefactor, a need for something for a church service for the organ or choir or as a teaching piece for his students. His music was not revived until Mendelssohn staged a performance of the "St. Matthew Passion" 100 years after Bach's death.
