I guessed wrongly (but closely, I daresay) that it was Pachelbel. On the basis of being similar in figuration and harmonic idiom to Bach, but slightly earlier. On reflection, a more Pachelbelian structure would have been to have a lengthy section of fantasia for manuals followed by a long-note statement in the pedals with climactic figuration above. Another fine video, much enjoyed!
Very nice thought. Buxtehude's chorale preludes tend to be a bit more elaborate, though - less chordal, more notes per beat. But certainly in the right area ... Tim

What I can do is .... say "Beautifully played Tim!" 😃
Thank you so much! Nice to hear from you again. Tim

Really good reasoning, and not at all far off! And I guessed you would like the instrument ... Tim
I did not know the piece. I had thought of Walther or others of his time. Enjoyed it.
Walther is very close indeed - in style and in life (only a few years age difference and in neighbouring towns). Good thinking! Tim
I got it easily. Very characteristic of his style.
Well done! Tim
Buxtehude?
