J.S. Bach / Dan Tepfer: Inventions / Reinventions

Saturday, July 26, 2025, 7:30  – 8:30 pm

One of his generation’s extraordinary talents, Dan Tepfer has earned an international reputation as a pianist-composer of wide-ranging innovation, individuality, and drive—one “who refuses to set himself limits” (France’s Télérama).

Following the critical and audience acclaim for his Goldberg Variations / Variations, Jazz pianist and composer Dan Tepfer introduces a new project centered around the music of Bach, Inventions / Reinventions. 

Bach composed his beloved set of Inventions as study pieces for his children and students, covering eight major and seven minor keys, for a total of fifteen. But there are twenty-four possible major and minor keys, so there are nine keys missing. In the Inventions / Reinventions program, while playing Bach’s original compositions sequentially, Dan Tepfer creates his own Inventions for the missing keys, freely improvising new ones during each performance. In so doing, he follows the logic behind Bach’s beloved original pieces, in which simple musical ideas, like characters in a novel or a play, are taken on a harmonic journey to foreign keys before returning home.
