Heels...


Can you imagine playing the organ in heels? Check out the pics above! Female french organists of the mid 20th century were known for their huge heels. They certainly did not interfere with their playing! Jeanne Demessieux (top) and Marie-Madeleine Durufle-Chevalier (bottom) were known for their virtuoso playing both in terms of their manual AND pedal technique.
