flute stops
I can't see what else they could be referring to...
Of course, there can be several 'flutes' on an organ, at different pitches, and also different varieties: for example, a theatre organ might have a 'concert flute'

And given that it is indeed a piece for solo organ..

: 'fluty stops' At first, I thought that suezan had it because multiple voices were involved. But the construction of the sentence made me realize that they were referring to the set of pipes.

Thanks, Claire! Well, that's the way I initially read it, especially with the 'sur', and the fact that 'jeux' is plural.

: "Flute stops", like "string stops" and "diapason stops" etc., are one of the major families of organ stops. In French, they are "jeux flûtés"; see, e.g. http://ndrhone-valence.cef.fr/article.php3?id_article=707 or http://tinyurl.com/2ujwj4 .

simply 'fluty play'
This is a website with hundreds of names for organ stops-look under 'f' and 'j'-it might help - but I suspect the writer is describing the piece of music and how it develops

Spelling of 'fluty' - according to C-R.
I suppose the music is played to sound like a flute

principals becomes stringy; strings turn reedy, horn-like or, in some cases, fluty (when the color of the beats emphasizes the pipes’ fundamental rather than harmonic development).
