Praeludium in G Major, BuxWV 147 Click to Listen, [3:29] (A=465)
The score indicates the left hand for what would in similar pieces be a pedal cadenza followed by an organ point. A light-hearted short section follows, ending with rapid eccentric scalar flourishes. The meat of the piece is a four-voice fughetta that brings to mind J. S. Bach's St. Anne Fugue, but it ends with characteristic Buxtehude figuration and a final soprano flourish which is played against a chord on the Oberwerk in order to be heard more clearly. Score provided by Boris Mudrinic. Instrument: Gottfried Silbermann Organ, St. Georgenkirche - Rötha, Germany (1721) - Samples by Brett Milan
