Praeludium in E minor, BuxWV 142 Click to Listen, [7:44]
Five major sections, the first two in Common Meter, ending with a very "blue" note that ushers in some heavy chromaticism in 3/2. The meter switches to Common again just 2 measures before a loud transitional passage which ushers in a delightfully bouncy 12/8 motiv that continues to the end. Instrument: Vermeulen Brothers Organ at Congregation "Vloedschuur," Heteren, Holland (1959) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
