Historical context
Work BuxWV 218 is a composition for organ by Dietrich Buxtehude, one of his later works from around 1700. This piece, while specific details about its nature are limited, likely reflects Buxtehude's mature style characterized by complex counterpoint and expressive harmonic language. Its first publication in 1875-76 came long after Buxtehude’s lifetime, indicating that it was not widely known or performed during his era.
