Gilberto Guarino plays Clérambault. "Suite du 1 er Ton": #1 - "Grand Plein Jeu".Temperament: 1/4 comma meantone. <br />The french "Grand Plein Jeu" is the "Plein Jeu" heard from the Great manual, with the Choir manual coupled. Unlike the "Suite du 2ème Ton", the former begins with a full "GPJ" in three and four voices, while the latter opens with a hybrid composition: a "Petit Plein Jeu" (the "Plein Jeu" played in the Choir manual); then there is a "GPJ", followed by another "PPJ", and ending in a "GPJ". Obviously, this kind of piece ("GPJ") is to be played "lentement" ("for lentement", actually...) with a sense of sound mass. The "1er ton" is assimilated to D Minor, while the "2ème Ton", to G Minor.
