minor v to VI = <3

Classicistic late 1700th century lutheran counterpoint. After the Old North German School, Dieterich Buxtehude's work represents the pinnacle of this tradition, undisputedly an 100% authentic piece of art made by one of this school's true masters. Bach was aware of this of course, so it wasn't just of simple admiration he studied this style, a style by many of his contemporaries considered as old-fashioned. Buxtehude, long live thy craftmanship and music

Interesting that Bach was visiting Buxtehude just prior to writing his own Toccata and Fugue in Dm. Did Bach borrow from Buxtehude? Some say yes. Certainly, one of history's mystery's.

@guitarman2069 But it is certain that one can here his influence on Bach right in this video :)! Just too bad Mr. Dietrich's daughter was not very attractive.

Buxtehude whooped a llama's ass!

It's so similar to the Toccata and Fugue by Bach!!!!

I doubt I would walk 230 miles in winter like J.S. Bach to hear D.B. play - but I'd walk 2 miles! Thanks for this wonderful music!

The sheet music is behind the recording, so can't follow as I'd ilke, but great piece. Learning it at the moment

Wow...this is beyond words... :) I love the chromatic harmonies. Brilliant composer. No wonder Bach admired him!
