@攻壳(Cheytac m200):The older master’s influence on Bach is most conspicuous in the Toccata, whose dashing initial declamation and subsequent tremolos prefigure Bach’s D major Toccata; then a series of extraordinary rising modulations leads to a long fugue (which changes metre just before the end).
@攻壳(Cheytac m200):The 19 organ praeludia form the core of Buxtehude’s organ oeuvre and are considered his most important contributions to the 17th-century literature. Their quasi-improvisatory flair and brilliance always sounds spontaneous, at times quite extrovert.
