Fantastic. And the name! He could have lived in the Efteling. Fantastic. An accessible piece that is really beautiful. A nice found!

Thanks, Rien! Try some Babou, it's very tasteful ;)

This is cleverly created chaconne over a descending tetra chord!❤

[@RalphLooij]

Indeed. Technically it's not a perfect composition, there are some parallels here and there, but it generates a nice effect.

Loved it. First hearing. Your registration worked. And I get it. It could also work with a little other colour. But I agree quiet and refined. This is not a strong plenum type of of variations. Nice choice of instrument to.

Thanks, Mark. Yes, a bit of variety with 8' and 4' stops could have worked, but changing stops sounds quite unnatural during this piece, since it constantly flows.

How do you find all of this amazing repertoire? And then also find the time to record it all?? 😂 I'm always impressed!

[@RalphLooij]

One word: IMSLP. There is so much music to discover! And keeping up with a rhythm of a few pieces per week to record is also very healthy ;)

[@AprilClaytonflute]

@@RalphLooij is IMSLP just one word? hahaha - I love IMSLP. You are VERY diligent!!
