I stumbled across this rather fun piece as I was leafing through a stack of old music in search of a postlude for this coming Sunday. According to the volume cover, it was published in 1896 and intended for "orgue ou harmonium"--and for manuals only, apparently, though I did add pedals for the conclusion. In order to optimize one's playing of this piece, it might be helpful to drink beforehand a glass or two of chilled water cum Pernod in order to get into the Gallic spirit of the piece.
