This question was sent by Alison. And she writes:\n\nHi Vidas,\n\nI enjoying reading your blog and would appreciate some advice on repertoire using the mutation stops. I am to give a recital on an organ which has 3 mutation stops and would like to demonstrate all 3 during the recital. I have looked out a Cornet Voluntary by John Stanley and a tierce en taille by Michel Corrette, but perhaps you could suggest some other repertoire I could play? \n\nHere is the full specification of the organ:\n\nDepartment and Stop list\n\nPedal Key action Suspended Stop action Me Compass-low Compass-high Keys \n 1 Sub Bass 16 RDH Bourdon\n\nManual I Key action Suspended Stop action Me Compass-low Compass-high Keys \n 2 Principal 8 \n 3 Stopped Diapason 8 \n 4 Octave 4 \n 5 Fifteenth 2 \n 6 Nineteenth 1 1/3 \n 7 Twentysecond 1 \n\nManual II Key action Suspended Stop action Me Compass-low Compass-high Keys \n 8 Gedackt 8 \n 9 Chimney Flute 4 \n 10 Nazard 2 2/3 \n 11 Flute 2 \n 12 Tierce 1 3/5 \nConsole\n\nConsole type attached Stop type drawstop Pedalboard radiating concave \n\nNaturals black, sharps black/white; couplers by hitch down pedal;\n\nCouplers\n\nManual II to Manual I\n\nManual II to Pedal\n\nManual I to Pedal\n\nI hope you will use this question in your blog.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nAlison
