What Wikipedia says

In music, an invention is a short composition (usually for a keyboard instrument) in two-part counterpoint. Compositions in the same style as an invention but using three-part counterpoint are known as sinfonias. Some modern publishers call them "three-part inventions" to avoid confusion with symphonies.
