The Arlesheim organ has a definite French sound to it, though also being a southern German baroque organ. It is very versatile.
So I thought it would be nice to try to make this Couperin showpiece sound as French as possible on it.
Most organists don't vary the registration much during the piece, but Andre Isoir does and I like that very much, because that way you create a lot of contrasts in the music.
Anyway, I hope you like this approach.
