Musicology:

Praeludium G, BuxWV147
Key: G
Genre: Prelude / Fugue
Pr. Instrument: Organ (Baroque)

This praeludium in G major looks much more like a prelude and fugue than the typical Buxtehude praeludium. The free toccata-like section comes to a full stop before the fugue begins, but the fugue does break down into free rhapsodic material for the last six bars of the piece. The opening free section could be split into two chunks separated by a half cadence.
