It is a chorale fantasy in the tradition of Reincken , Tunder , Scheidemann, and Weckmann of the previous generation.
Rather than working through the melody from start to finish all in one chunk, Buxtehude fragments the melody into tiny bits and plays with each bit for an extended period of time before moving on to the next bit of the chorale melody. The bits of melody sometimes appear unornamented, but may also appear with heavy adornment. In the first 44 measures of the piece, the first phrase of the chorale is tossed back and forth between the soprano, tenor, and bass.
Each time it appears in the soprano it is ornamented, while in the tenor and bass it appears unornamented. Measures are particularly remarkable. The last four notes of the first phrase are the same as the third to sixth notes of the second phrase, allowing Buxtehude to play with a bit of ambiguity in the chorale melody itself. He starts off this section of the chorale as if he is treating the last four notes of the first phrase, but then after about 25 measures he continues with the rest of the second phrase.
Also Buxtehude adds a bit of chromaticism to the chorale melody creating a rather piquant flavor.
