Dietrich Buxtehude : PRAELUDIUM manualiter in G (organ - 2 manuals, very little pedal)

The prelude is marked for soley manual use. However, no later than in measure 5, it becomes difficult for many hands to reach the necessary span. Since most of Buxtehude's organ works have survived only in copies, the question of the originality of this additional transcription remains open anyway (and could not be explained by the "short octave" that was often found at that time). If, however, pedal use is unavoidable here, it should be used appropriately in all non-fugal parts (which would also benefit the manual change in measure 57). -
North German organ literature always provides ample opportunity for alternate registration through frame and interlude passages.
It seems to me, however, that especially in Buxtehude's work there is a peculiarity in the fact that he sometimes considers the change of sound to the following part even before the end of a section. Concurrently, he would like to have only seemingly similar tone sequences (e.g. bars 35 to 38) presented in an echo-like manner. Hence, here is my attempt to prepare the upcoming change to the toccata-like final section tonally already from bar 126 (possible also from bar 129 after the 1st quarter), which would normally happen only from bar 140, by which the resolution would appear disproportionately shortened.
