Dieterich (Diderich) Buxtehude (1637-1707) was Danish organist and composer, who, in his post at St Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany, became one of the leading organists of his generation and the most influential on the organists who followed including JS Bach.

This Prelude is a toccata-like work with fugal sections included.
