FYI Robert Patterson: In response to your question about Messiaen
organ performance issue.
Dear Timothy,
I used to play that by having the hands on a higher manual, and
playing the extra line with my thumbs on the lower manual. It only
works if the manuals are adjacent, though.
Another alternative would perhaps be to remove the 16 feet registers
from the pedal and play that line in the pedal, one octave lower, and
then quickly add the 16 feet and continue playing in the pedal.
Hope it helps,
Pedro

Mr. Utrecht:
Perhaps you could offer some insight for a friend's inquiry.
I'm looking at Messiaen La Nativite Book 2, p. 3. (La Verbe).
In the third system, marked "Lentet puissant", there are three manual
staves
(in addition to the pedal staff). I don't understand how you play the
first measure in that
system, since it is above the pedal range. It seems like you would
need a third hand. Do you have performance knowledge to
answer this? Thank you.
