Wow! Great! I'm surprised no one's commented. I hadn't heard this piece before, thanks for posting!

Thank you! Although it has been one of Couperin's most famous pieces ever since it was written, it is seldom played. It sounds much easier than it actually is. I'll be posting more Couperin in the future. Check out the other French Baroque stuff I've posted in the mean time.
