JS Bach, the inventor of stride.

Where would you consider the parts of the music to be homophonic?

[@composernotes]

As a 3-part invention by Bach, it is conceived as polyphonic throughout. Even though the bass and middle voices are somewhat subsidiary at the beginning, they are not homophonic. They have their own rhythm and are independent of the main line.

@@composernotes So not even just the first bar?

[@composernotes]

@@lokosquad7036 not even the first bar, as the rhythm of the lower parts is quite independent of the upper part

[@uigliam]

I think of it with a less evident and less constant staccato, given the minor key and the two-beat beat. The frivolous character does not enhance the piece.
