| Added by magataganm, 10 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 major is in four sections: two free toccata-like sections, and two fugues. The first toccata-like section is the more substantial of the two free sections. It features some of Buxtehude's wildest spasmodic passage work. Of the two fugues, the first is also the most substantial. It appears to be a double fugue at the outset, but the first of the two subjects fades out leaving what appeared to be the secondary subject as the true subject of the fugue. The second fugue works its way right to the conclusion rather than giving way to rhapsodic material as Buxtehude usually does in his fugues.
