Hi, Lar. Anyone out there who ENJOYS that feeling should trying playing that part of Liszt's "Consolatiom in Db" where he asks the pianist to use all three pedals at the same time. Wearing a size 16EEEE shoe, snow- shoes, or having a really "close" friend crawl under the piano and work the third pedal for you, are all semi-viable options. And just when you found a piece by Liszt which you thought wasn't too demand- ing from a technical standpoint! Les Smith lessmith@buffnet.net
