It is precisely the special character of the organ, its unlimited possibilities for varied sound and dynamic change, that Buxtehude exploited with genius and in a style drawn directly from the instru- ment. In this, and in severalother respects, the art of Buxtehude’s organ works represents a climax in an historical process which can be traced back to the church music of the Renaissance in the middle of the 16th century, when the organs and organists in the churches inspired an increasing activity of rich experimentation and imaginative creation both in musical expression and form.
