Portrait of Jacob Praetorius le Jeune

Son of Hieronymus Praetorius and a pupil of Sweelinck in Amsterdam, Jacob Praetorius became organist of St. Petri in Hamburg in 1604 and held the post until his death. A renowned teacher, he counted Matthias Weckmann and Berendt Petri among his pupils. His three surviving preludes combine a free opening, foreshadowing the stylus phantasticus, with a strict fugal section.
