Being an organ piece explains the "third hand".  Organs have a foot pedal 
keyboard for bass notes.  That is the third line that Andy can't play.

There's a Gershwin Prelude that I learnt to play once, that is also full of 
10th intervals - typically C#-to-E.  As Halbert said, if your hand is too 
small for the interval (as mine is) roll across the two notes from low to 
high.  With a lot of parctice on long intervals, your hand will eventually 
stretch further than it can now.
