Organ music

The vast majority of Couperin's organ pieces—the contents of the so-called Oldham manuscript—were unknown until 1957, and remained unpublished until the 1990s. The numbering in the following list is derived from the Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre edition, the only available as of 2009. Many of the pieces in the Oldham manuscript are inscribed with the date of composition and/or the composer's name; these notices are reproduced here (with respect to the original spelling and punctuation) to facilitate navigation. The order of the pieces is similar to the one in the Oldham manuscript.
