Abstract
This study explores diverse figures in the pedal passages in Johann Sebastian Bach's Orgelbuchlein in order to improve pedal technique by a more effective practice style. The Orgelbuchlein has been thought to include easy pieces that are usually played by beginning students. One of the reasons for this belief is that the pieces are short. In fact, however, none of the chorale settings in the Orgelbuchlein are easy to play. Their various levels of difficulty and styles prove Bach's pedagogical purpose. I will take full advantage of the obbligato pedal writing in the Orgelbuchlein to develop a pedal technique for music composed before 1750. This study provides pedal exercises according to level of difficulty with directions for practicing included. These pedal exercises based on the Orgelbuchlein will challenge organ students in the great variety they include.
