Louis Couperin: Prelude en Fa Majeur

The unmeasured prelude that everyone want to play - for good reasons, i.e., musical accessibility, a clear tonal lay-out and a ’non-weirdness’ of ambiguities that plague other in the book. It also incorporates a ’ca. one bar’ from a Froberger Toccata per Elevazione - most endearing indeed! Played on a double-manual instrument in ’Late-Flemish’ style built by Ketil Haugsand in Oslo, 1971. Unequal temperaments - tuning pitch 394Hz. The recording took place at home, in Cologne - No studio or ’professional’, broadcast video or audio has been or could be pretended. Video recorded on a Leica M240P with a Summilux 1,4/35 ’AA’ lens; Audio on a Zoom H6 with standard stereo microphone; Audio mix in Audacity - Video edit in iMovie.
