Pachelbels d-Moll-Ciacona als strukturelles Vorbild für eine Aemulatio: zur Form der Passacaglia in c-Moll von J. S. Bach

Abstract

Many musicologists have discussed the influence of Buxtehude’s ostinato compositions on Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passacaglia in C minor, BWV 582. But Johann Pachelbel’s Ciacona in D minor seems to have had a much stronger effect on it: this piece served as the model for the structure of the Passacaglia.
