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

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
• également
• croches égales
