Work introduction
A virtuosic Toccata with and strong focus on rhythm. The majestic opening chords anticipate the boisterous main theme, which is then contrasted by a melodious middle section. Featuring wild chromatic shifts and scales and an unusually active pedal-part, this Toccata definitively delivers on the listener's classic expectations of drama and grandeur of that instrument.
