Baroque: no great contrasts of mood, tempo, color, texture

François Couperin, 1668-1733; Pièces d'orgue - 1696
  • Plein jeu | fonds 16, 8, 4, 2 + mixture (+ bourdon)
  • Plein jeu | fonds 8, 4, 2, mixture, trompettes 8, 4
  • Petit plein jeu | positiv: no 16, may have reeds 8, 4
  • Grand jeu | Great: bourdon, mutations, cornet, prestant 4, trompette 8, 4

As a stop, tremulant is inadequate without anything else!

Stop used to be a stop, is now a GO!

Gothic Blokwerk

The music grew out of the instrument; the wrong organ for the music will not be playing the music.

A one stop organ would be a mixture

Prohibit inequality by:
  • dots over notes
  • more than a pair of notes slurred togeher
or, written instructions:
  • égales
  • marqué
  • martelées
  • détachées
