About Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750): German Baroque composer and organist. His teaching pieces, the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, the Little Preludes and the Inventions, are still where most pianists first meet counterpoint, and the Well-Tempered Clavier is a lifetime's study.

How to play Keyboard partita in A minor: part 5 on piano

  1. Split the piece into sections and learn them one at a time, hands separately first.
  2. Loop the bars that keep going wrong. The app's per-bar feedback shows exactly where they are, so you don't waste time on the bars you already know.
  3. Move up the play-along speeds in steps, 50% then 75% then 100%, only when a section is clean at the current speed.
  4. Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.

In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
