Passacaglia in D minor BuxWV 161 Uploaded by: GeoffP Composer: Buxtehude, Dieterich Organ: Lüdingworth, Arp Schnitger Organ (1682-1683) Software: Hauptwerk V Views: 120
Bach uses an 8 measure theme, unlike traditional 4-measure passacaglias of earlier composers, and works as much with the harmony as the melody, so this piece may be better thought of as a chaconne. [13:2]
