But this appeared extremely difficult: for the spinet was near sixty feet long, each key being almost a foot wide, so that with my arms extended I could not reach to above five keys, and to press them down required a good smart stroke with my fist, which would be too great a labour, and to no purpose.
Baina oso zaila zen hau, zeren eta, espineta ia hamazortzi metro zen luze, eta beraz, besoak zabalduta ere ezin nituen bost tekla baino gehiago hartu, eta hauek zapaltzeko ere ukabilaz kolpe ederra eman beharrean nengoen, lan handiegia eta alferrikakoa zena.
