"La Marche des Scythes" is a piece for harpsichord by Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer (1705 - 1755). Fiery, virtuosic, moody, humorous; I have trouble believing fingers can move like this. The growling of the bass is fantastic.
Skip Sempé has the best performance I've heard.
Jean Rondeau has an impressive performance also, but a little less precise.
