- Ciacona in C minor, BuxWV 159
[7:27] (A=465)
Unlike Buxtehude's more famous Passacaglio in D minor, the pedal theme does not repeat throughout the entire piece, since a ciacona relies more on a
harmonic progression than the constant repetition of a single theme in the bass line. Here the more delicate flute stops begin and end the piece. The
unique Slbermann Qvintadena is quite evident, and the careful listener might hear a slight noise from the trackers and discern a couple of judicious
substitutions for the missing high D in the pedal of this venerable instrument.
