List of compositions by Dieterich Buxtehude

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Buxtehude-Werke-Verzeichnis)

The only surviving portrait of Buxtehude, playing a viol, from A musical party by Johannes Voorhout (1674)

The Buxtehude-Werke-Verzeichnis ("Buxtehude Works Catalogue", commonly abbreviated to BuxWV) is the catalogue and the numbering system used to identify musical works by the German-Danish Baroque composer Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637 – 9 May 1707). It was compiled by Georg Karstädt and published in 1974 as Thematisch-Systematisches Verzeichnis der Musikalischen Werke von Dietrich Buxtehude. The second edition, published in 1985, contains minor additions and corrections. The catalogue is organized thematically, not chronologically, and contains 275 individual pieces. The Anhang ("Appendix") adds 13 spurious and falsely attributed works.

The fourteen trio sonatas (BuxWV 252–265) were the only works published during Buxtehude's lifetime. Originally issued in two volumes, the first seven are now commonly referred to as Buxtehude's opus 1 and the next seven as opus 2.

[edit]

Freely composed (136–176)

[edit]

Note: Buxtehude preludes are multi-sectional and do not fit Bach-related terms such as "prelude and fugue" (despite this use by record companies); to make the distinction the German work "Praeludium" is conventional. Typical Buxtehude preludes begin free-style, switch to fugue, and then alternate between these forms, for a total of five to seven sections, two or three of which are fugues. The free-style sections are usually toccata-like.

  • BuxWV 136 — Praeludium (with 3 Fugues) in C
  • BuxWV 137 — Praeludium (with Fugue and Chaconne) in C
  • BuxWV 138 — Praeludium in C
  • BuxWV 139 — Praeludium (with 3 Fugues) in D
  • BuxWV 140 — Praeludium (with 2 Fugues) in D minor
  • BuxWV 141 — Praeludium in E
  • BuxWV 142 — Praeludium (with 3 Fugues) in E minor
  • BuxWV 143 — Praeludium (with 2 Fugues) in E minor
  • BuxWV 144 — Praeludium in F — binary form with one fugue, so akin to a Bachian "prelude and fugue"
  • BuxWV 145 — Praeludium in F — binary form with one fugue, so akin to a Bachian "prelude and fugue"
  • BuxWV 146 — Praeludium (with 2 Fugues) in F-sharp minor
  • BuxWV 147 — Praeludium in G
  • BuxWV 148 — Praeludium in G minor
