Canzonetta in D minor, BuxWV 168 Click to Listen [3:52] (A=465)
In four sections: Imitative counterpoint in common meter with a characteristic hesitation step contrasted with a 3/4 version of the same subject. The playfulness is interrupted by a strong transition, and a different subject which appears recto and inversus (right- and up-side-down) is introduced, then finished off with a fuller registration. Pedal is simulated with an octave coupling second manual. Instrument: 3-stop Harpsichord (24 bit version) built by Martin Bezemer Eindhoven, 1981 - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
