He published numerous chorale preludes in traditional styles of the 17th and 18th centuries. He showed that this language is not old-fashioned at all, but still can tell us something new, independent, and “of one’s own”. Much of his music is available on imslp.org.
This trio is a true masterpiece in the tradition of Bach's Schübler preludes.
