* When performed on the organ, down-stemmed notes in the bass staff can be played on the pedals at the discretion of the performer.
Cue-sized notes are optional notes that can be added or substituted in the event of an organ performance. Marked glissandi or rolls are
intended for piano performance only, as are notes below the range of the organ, which should be transposed up an octave when appropriate.
