I found this by accident today. I wondered if anyone has heard it or played it on the piano?

I didn't even knew the existence of this fine composer (is it possible that he was a bit influenced by couperin? Anyway he's good on his own)

Yes, I listened/played at the piano. Couldn't resist to  ;D I looked for the score at IMSLP and read.

Thanks for sharing this fantastic music!  :)

Cool, you should post it in the audition room (some day, when you feel like it), I haven't found a piano version.

another cool pancake royal piece

Wow...that piece rocks. I love when it switches to the lute setting...you don't hear that often on harpsichord recordings. Has a really soft/dark color to it. Love it!!

La Vertigo by Pancrace Royer Holy crap...I don't think I've ever heard baroque (or would you classify someone born in 1705 as rococo?) music like that before. Those thundering, repeated chords you wouldn't expect to hear til Scriabin or something...
