The centuries-old practice of using the name B-A-C-H as inspiration for his own works and at the same time as an homage to the master has its counterpart in Bach's own oeuvre. The introductory Fantasia in C minor (with unfinished fugue) is a densely woven five-part imitative movement on a theme that is strongly reminiscent of a Gloria verse by de Grigny, which Bach copied in Weimar. The fugue in B minor borrows its double theme from a trio sonata movement by Corelli, whereby formative elements are also transferred. With the two chorale preludes, listeners encounter not only the church musician, but also the organ expert J.S. Bach: the fantasia "Ein feste Burg" was written in the context of the organ rebuilding in Mühlhausen and, with its rare autograph registration instructions for a three-manual organ, points directly to Bach's disposition.
The accompanying works from three centuries take up the traditional forms in a new guise with fantasia, fugue and chorale.
