Winner of the 2012 Ogasapian Book Prize from the The Organ
Historical Society The organist seated at the king of instruments
with thousands of pipes rising all around him, his hands busy at
the manuals and his feet patrolling the pedalboard, is a symbol of
musical self-sufficiency yielding musical possibilities beyond that
of any other mode of solo performance. In this book, David Yearsley
presents a new interpretation of the significance of the oldest and
richest of European instruments, by investigating the German
origins of the uniquely independent use of the feet in organ
playing. Delving into a range of musical, literary and visual
sources, Bach's Feet demonstrates the cultural importance of this
physically demanding mode of music-making, from the blind German
organists of the fifteenth century, through the central
contribution of Bach's music and legacy, to the newly-pedaling
organists of the British Empire and the sinister visions of Nazi
propagandists.
