b'This question was sent by Anne, and she writes:\\n \\nI started working on Bach Prelude and Fugue in D Major, BWV 532. The opening pedal run is not hard except that I am a short person. The benches I sit and practice on are not adjustable so I have to sit close to the edge of the seat to be able to use the pedal board.\\n\\u200b\\nIn order to do this pedal run using only toes - I have to adjust myself as I go up the scale because my legs are not long enough. Somehow I will have to figure out how to do the adjusting and also have my hands ready to play the opening chords at the end of the run. Should be an interesting few weeks until i get this figured out! \\n\\nSecrets of Organ Playing: https://www.organduo.lt'
