Technically this is a passacaglia. Historically both passicaglia and Chaconnes are in 3 but a passacaglia is a set of variations over a short base line. A chaccone is fully harmonized from the start. Handel wrote a common time passacaglia in his harpsichord suite #7 while all his chaconnes are in 3.
I just cant get over the Bb minor variation. I LOVE THAT D FLAT! and how the organist changes the timbre to obnoxious tinny biting sound. It's too perfect to even be real.
Indeed, Bb-F-Gm-Dm-Eb-Bb-Eb-F

@Merryjest I think its chaconne. I THINK that passacaglias are usually in 3.

Would it be correct to say that the form of this movement is that of a Passacaglia?
