The choice of a hot-air balloon for the cover is a reference to his descent from the Montgolfier brothers on his mother's side of the family and stating his vision of what the modern organ should be: symphonic in scale and of dimensions that should go beyond the limited horizons of everyday life and its banality. Widor's ideas are characterised by a transcendent perspective: the organ would be the symbol of progress and of universal spirituality.
