Ajoutée par magataganm, 02 Aoû 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. Buxtehude wrote two manualiter (manuals only, no pedal part required) toccatas. Both are in G major. This one is the shorter of the two. It consists of a free section and a fugue that soon breaks down back into free rhapsodic material. Like the two toccatas with pedal, this toccata leans more heavily toward free rhapsodic material and contains less imitative material than in the praeludia.
