This quodlibet is based on multiple German folk songs, two of which are "Ich bin solang nicht bei dir g'west, ruck her, ruck her" ("I have so long been away from you, come closer, come closer") and "Kraut und Rüben haben mich vertrieben, hätt mein' Mutter Fleisch gekocht, wär ich länger blieben" ("Cabbage and turnips have driven me away, had my mother cooked meat, I'd have opted to stay"). The others remain unknown. The "Kraut und Rüben" theme, under the title of "La Capricciosa", had previously been used by Dieterich Buxtehude for his thirty-two partite in G major, BuxWV 250.
