Musicology:
  • Praeludium in D, BuxWV139
    Key: D
    Year: ca. 1690
    Genre: Prelude / Fugue
    Pr. Instrument: Organ (Baroque)

This Praeludium in D major is one of Buxtehude's cheerier pieces. The sectional division in this piece is a bit ambiguous. It begins with a free toccata section followed by fugue then a string of different non-imitative sections. The material after the fugal section is varied and full of contrast.
