  • What would the soundtrack to the Book of Genesis sound like? This grand Praeludium by Dieterich Buxtehude does a pretty good job of depicting the seven days of Creation, as well as the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Can you hear how each section of the piece relates to the story?

    I very much liked this hermeneutical analysis of the piece and hope you will do more.

    You give a fine impression, why Bach stayed so long to learn from him in Lübeck. Thank you, Madame !

    This has give me a totally new perspective on this piece: I thought the insights were fascinating. I'm afraid I cheat at 07:35 onwards and take the F# with my right toe and the upper G with the heel. (I suppose the Baroque guys only use their toes?)

      So glad to hear, thanks! I think with pedalling, as long as you're still able to achieve clarity in the sound, it's alright to use heels every now and then...

    Beautiful instrumental interpretation. But I find the biblical interpretation, however, a far stretch ! What are your sources on this?
    Seven is a pervasive symbolic number; OK for the 7th day as a rest, matching here the 7th exposition of ostinato. But do the 6 others match what happens on each creation day?
    Do you think that the "temptation" part is really conveyed by the music? What about "the fall"? The music is far from sounding as a fall ... The final chord is in major, that does sound as a reception on all poes to me, so not such a bad fall, if it is one at all.

    after all that psuedo-analysis, then you incorrectly play the groupings of 6 semiquavers as 2 groups of three, rather than each 6 being in 3 pairs -- thus the entire accenting is wrong and does not match the 2nd page of this section

      Thanks so much for that feedback, Rod. I'd love to hear your interpretation someday.

      Oh dear, you think you're so good even though you're not and can't take criticism. Take some good advice and choose a different instrument.

      Good luck with your promoting great music. I previously clearly noted one definite constructive criticism. Let me know if that idea is not clear. This one-only rhythmic clarification can easily be added into your many other lines of interesting interpretation. As with another listener I wasn't sure about the details of the analysis, but should say that any in-depth attempt is worth reading for consideration. (This is my only other note, so have no idea what planet "Sir Reginald is on.)
