Buxtehude and bach

1637
Dieterich* Buxtehude is born, probably in Helsingborg**, as the son of Johannes Buxtehude, by profession organist at the Lutheran Church of St. Mary’s, and his wife (about whom we don’t know anything). The exact date of Dieterich’s birth is not known, and even the year of his birth is based on calculations and not documented. Helsingborg is a wealthy Danish city on the Oresund and will be part of the Kingdom of Sweden a little later. The father is from the German city of Oldesloe (= Oldesloh, about halfway between Lübeck and Hamburg in the then Danish duchy of Holstein); the mother is possibly also of German extraction.

List of compositions by Dieterich Buxtehude
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.
