this is 'á la gigue'?

[IvoniceAstrid]

beautiful music, thanks for posting .

Bach obviously 'absorbed' some of this for his own 'jig fugue'....(BWV577)....there are echoes of it everywhere.....a tribute from one master to another!

@silverdalesapphires and also Bach's organ fugue in D major 'reeks' of Buxtehude :P

@silverdalesapphires

you have an excellent memory for music and thank you for citing that work by Buxtehude.

in "The organ music of J.S. Bach" (searchable on Google Books), Peter Williams asserts that Bach's authorship of BWV577 is doubtful.

Williams makes several references to BUXWV 174 in his discussion of BWV 577.

[silverdalesapphires]

@silverdalesapphires That's interesting! Williams isn't too convinced about BWV565, either, was it by Bach?, was it for organ? and was it originally in Dminor? Stephen Banfield, originally Professor of Music at Keele is of the same opinion. It could be a transcription of a lost work by Vivaldi as some passages don't ring true for Bach; the octave intro to the Toccata is also a bit suspect. I much prefer BWV538 and BWV564 to BWV565) (Esp Hurford or Marie-Claire Alain!)

Thank you for cadencing here and there instead of the usual bullet-train-without- brakes approach. Thank you.

It is not Handel and Bach who wanted to follow Buxtehude, it is Handel and Johann Mattheson. Bach indeed walked more than 200 miles to meet him, but it was to study his way of composing and to listen to the Abendmusik, a series of musical performances organised by Buxtehude.

The marriage story was true, but it was also true that it was then (and there) common to marry the daughter of the old master in whatever trade in question.

Buxtehude es magnífico.

[PerrrfictKats]

I believe Bach wrote the Jigg fugue 577 from listening to this piece, or maybe he had a copy of Buxdehude,s music Fugue in C

[PeteWagstaff]

intriguing insight! i wouldn't be at all suprised. there are many Bach preludes and fugues that seem to be somewhat inspired by his mentor.

[handelfan610]

funny i can hear the jigg fugue in this as well...what a wonderful observation.

[whomakemefeel]

I wouldn't say that cos I know Bach was big fan of Buxtehude and he travel to listen to him many time and ofcourse there's some close in key but Bach compose only on he's style

[joeyboi87]

absolute fantastic piece of buxtehude!!
