Dietrich Buxtehude and Johann Adam Reinken were two of the most famous musicians in the XVIIth century. They were friends and had a strong influence on Johann - Sebastian Bach. At the age of 20, in 1705, Johann - Sebastian Bach travelled to study with Dietrich Buxtehude, the greatest German musician of the day, to complete his training.
He left Arnstadt to travel to Lu?beck, a journey of more than 400km, which he made on foot. He had only asked for a leave of one month from his church.
He would be absent four months. Upon his return, the parishioners no longer recognized him. He was reproached for playing too long and above all for disturbing the audience with strange modulations. Dietrich Buxtehude's influence on Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest musician of all time, had been decisive.
Reinken, with his ‘'stylus phantasticus'', has been also of a major influence on Bach, who made few transcriptions of his works.
