    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. His ingenious mind comes up with many marvelous variation. Just when you think he might have exhausted all possibilities, he piles another variation on, the most virtuosic of which is a series of triplets in the right and left hand against the theme in the pedal. The first four measures of the Passacaglia theme are then re-used as his fugue subject, which is introduced with an bouncy counter-subjec

    A relatively little-known fugue, it is the companion the more often performed Toccata in F. This double fugue is enjoyable in its own right, however. The first subject is chromatic and I have preserved the ornaments throughout. The second subject enters on the Swell and is a jumpy little thing. When the first theme reenters in the alto, though, Bach surprises us by following it with a pedal entrance of the second theme.

    This is known as the "Wedge" because of the increasing intervals in the fugue subject, which look like a wedge on the manuscript paper. Its forward momentum, chromatic interludes and powerful counterpoint are thrilling.

    A brooding beginning on the Great principal gives way to a sparkling cadenza and a series of rapid echoing arpeggios echoed by the Swell (and an imaginary Positiv), then a driving buildup to the final cadence. The fugue starts with a charming subject that gets somewhat more stern as the fugue progresses. Another ripping cadenza and pedal point create a dazzling finish.

    This is the most famous of the three ground bass pieces by Buxtehude, and shows the following innovation: the theme in the pedal changes keys 3 times: d minor, F Major, a minor, and back to d minor, with clear modulations between each. And besides that, it's heartbreakingly lovely on the pipe organ, beginning with simple principal sounds, moving to brighter flutes, then to the Swell with a light mixture, full Great with 16' reed in the pedal, full organ at the triplet section, then receding through the previous stages to end on the original principal sound.

    Moving in mood from pensive to majestic to bravura, this Prelude is thought by some to be either the work of Johann Christian Kittel (1732-1809) or of Bach's eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann (1710-1784). I like it anyway.

    The fugue subject has a characteristic trill that makes it easy to notice in the thickest of textures. The cadenza at the end is an upside version of the one Bach used in the companion Prelude in F minor.
