Toccata in F Major (BuxWV 157) for String Quartet - YouTube Mike Magatagan

Dietrich Buxtehude is probably most familiar to modern classical music audiences as the man who inspired the young Johann Sebastian Bach to make a lengthy pilgrimage to Lubeck, Buxtehude's place of employment and residence for most of his life, just to hear Buxtehude play the organ. But Buxtehude was a major figure among German Baroque composers in his own right. Though we do not have copies of much of the work that most impressed his contemporaries, Buxtehude nonetheless left behind a body of vocal and instrumental music which is distinguished by its contrapuntal skill, devotional atmosphere, and raw intensity. He helped develop the form of the church cantata, later perfected by Bach, and he was just as famous a virtuoso on the organ. Like the Praeludia, BuxWV 144 and 145, this Toccata in F major works much like a prelude and fugue. It consists of two sections, an extended free toccata passage ending with a full cadence in the tonic followed by a long extended fugue which only breaks down into free rhapsodic passage work only measures before the end of the piece.
