This stunning and favoured piece for Harpsichord solo is now available as an arrangement for recorder quartet (AATB). It originates from the „18e Ordre“ by François Couperin (1668-1733).
The „Maillotins“ are supposed to be insurgents from the middle ages, who once attacked the town hall of Paris. In doing so they were using tools, similar to gouges, as their weapons.
