This solo for the pedals is inspired by my organ piece "Two Wind Fantasies", issued on SuperAudio-CD with Reger's "Variationen und Fuge ueber ein Originalthema Op. 73" in 2006. It is played on the main organ of the Grote of St Laurenskerk in Rotterdam. At the beginning, the legs are used more or less like mallets for a percussion instrument. After two minutes, the right foot plays glissandos. From 3'35", there is an intensive use of the right heel to create legato melodies, while the right part of the left foot keeps the low E-flat, rhythmisized by the low D-flat that is played by the left part of the left foot. Recorded by Marcel van den Tol. See www.willemtanke.com
