Fingering and Pedaling

The pedal part consists of three extended descending lines, the ideal of catabasis, which might refer to Christ's descent from heaven in the Nativity.
Play the pedal part with alternating toes. Pay attention to the break you make between the octave leaps, and the break that happens following the ties quarter note and sixteenth note.
