Dietrich Buxtehude

Piano Works, Vol. 2

Danish composer and organist Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) is a prime example of the North German baroque school and an influence on Johann Sebastian Bach's style. The works in this three-volume collection were found in a family-book, which for centuries was handed down in the Danish family of Ryge until their discovery in the mid-20th century. The collection of 19 suites, 6 works of variation, and 3 anonymous works (likely by Buxtehude) have been compiled and edited by Emilius Bangert. Vol. 1 includes Suites I-X; Vol. 2 includes Suites XI-XIX; Vol. 3 includes Works of variation and anonymous works.
