Introduction

Solo and Accompaniment Registration STANDARDS

DISTRIBUTION OF HANDS AND FEET: The solo (purple highlight) is played on one manual or in the pedal, using a prominent solo stop or combination. The accompaniment (yellow) is on the other manual (and in the pedal, if it is not the solo), using chorus-type registration.

PITCHES (manual): Both solo and accompaniment are usually built on an 8' foundation. However, either a 4' or 16' solo stop, or a combination built on either of these pitches is also possible for the solo part.

PEDAL: If the pedal is part of the accompaniment, it is balanced to the manual accompaniment and is usually built on a 16' foundation. If the pedal plays the solo, it may be built on either a 16', 8', or 4' foundation.
