La de Juigné

I've spent the last week immersed in Jacques Duphly's music. After a while, much of it sounds the same. I would not put him on a level of genius with a J.S. Bach. Yet, his music has a way of making a harpsichord sound fantastic. Duphly's genius is in making the most of the acoustic qualities of this instrument, bringing out its charms as well as its dark sides. One has the sense, almost, that the instrument was made to play his music, rather than the other way around.

Here's one piece as an example "La de Juigné". This one uses the Alberti bass (common also in Mozart's music).
