She was an aficionado of detail. For instance she recounts how Buxtehude, at 31, was named organist at the Marienkirche in Lübeck, where Abendmusiken his sacred concerto was thereafter presented each year during Advent. Bach first traveled there from Arnstadt to hear the concerto in 1705 two years before the Swede's death.
Yet what or whom does it serve to remember this she wonders. Can you imagine what it meant to travel even a hundred miles in winter? and for music? Not to mention what effect it had upon the younger man.
