| Added by magataganm, 31 Jul 2018 Dietrich Buxtehude is probably most familiar to modern classical music audiences as the man who inspired the young Johann Sebastian Bach to make a lengthy pilgrimage to Lubeck, Buxtehude's place of employment and residence for most of his life, just to hear Buxtehude play the organ. But Buxtehude was a major figure among German Baroque composers in his own right. Though we do not have copies of much of the work that most impressed his contemporaries, Buxtehude nonetheless left behind a body of vocal and instrumental music which is distinguished by its contrapuntal skill, devotional atmosphere, and raw intensity. He helped develop the form of the church cantata, later perfected by Bach, and he was just as famous a virtuoso on the organ. This Praeludium in A minor consists of two free toccata sections sandwiching two fugues. Instead of separating the two fugues with some free non-imitative material as Buxtehude usually does, he proceeds straight from one fugue to the other. The two fugue subjects are thematically related, the second is a 3/2 time version of the first subject in common time.
