Today’s selection was submitted by a fellow music lover, who writes,
The Great Nicholas Bruhns (1665-1697). Do you know this man?
He was Buxtehude's favorite student, who died at 31, when Bach was only 12 years old. The only reason we have this, is because Bach copied a few of his works on a visit to Buxtehude.
What he might have shown the world!
