The Praeambulum super G is a piece of music composed by an anonymous composer, included in the Buxheimer Orgelbuch. The Buxheimer Orgelbuch is a collection of organ music from the 15th century, compiled in the late 15th or early 16th century. The Praeambulum super G is believed to have been composed in the mid-15th century. The piece is written for the organ and is in the key of G major. It is a short piece, consisting of only one movement. The piece is characterized by its lively and energetic tempo, with a quick and lively rhythm. The piece is also characterized by its use of counterpoint, with multiple melodic lines weaving in and out of each other. The Praeambulum super G is believed to have been composed for use in church services, as it is a common practice in the 15th century to use organ music as a prelude to the service. The piece is also believed to have been used for secular purposes, such as entertainment at court or in private homes. The piece is notable for its use of the G major key, which was a popular key for organ music in the 15th century. The piece also features a number of technical challenges for the organist, including rapid fingerwork and complex harmonies. The Praeambulum super G was likely first performed in the mid-15th century, although the exact date of its premiere is unknown. The piece has since become a popular piece of organ music, and is still performed today by organists around the world.
