Like (I’m sure) many organists, I have to play from an inadequate music desk situated quite a distance from me. It’s almost impossible to use The Essential Organist as if it was a piece to be placed on the desk. Photocopying to avoid page turning is truly ‘essential’, and flattening the book without breaking the binding is almost impossible.
