Historical context
Work BuxWV 188 is a composition for organ by Dietrich Buxtehude, dating from his later years (c. 1637-1707). The piece, published in 1875-76, exemplifies Buxtehude's late style, characterized by complex counterpoint and expressive chromaticism. As part of his extensive organ repertoire, this work reflects the composer’s mastery of the instrument and his influence on Baroque music in northern Germany.
