- Praeludium in D Major, BuxWV 139
[5:4] (Kirnberger II mod. , f(A3)=468 Hz)
Several contrasting textures and moods show Buxtehude's engaging spontaneity, this Prelude is as close to a recorded improvisation as we could hope
for. Since it was all played on the Hauptwerk, the Positiv was often coupled to the Pedal for clarity. A few pedal passages were transposed down an
octave to fit that keyboard's compass, and Impulse reverberation was added. .
