Known for his dedication to the development of the variation form, his innovative style—which anticipated Bach—is evident not only in his handling of counterpoint but also in the expansive nature of his fugues. Listening to the opening of the “Chromatic Fantasy,” placed as the third track, it is hard to believe this music was written in the 16th or 17th century. While the album includes many variations, each can be described as a treasure trove of melodies adorned with beautiful arabesque patterns. The two pieces at the end are not by Sweelinck, but they were included alongside his works in a collection compiled at that time, and it is likely that they also influenced Sweelinck’s creativity.
