Prelude in F minor BuxWV.146 by Dieterich Buxtehude is a notable piece within the realm of Baroque organ music. Buxtehude was a Danish-German composer and organist known for his contributions to this genre, and his preludes are celebrated for their complexity and expressive qualities.
Buxtehude’s preludes typically follow a sectional form, consisting of several contrasting sections. They often begin with a free-form, improvisatory-style introduction, followed by more structured sections like fugues or imitative passages.
