Inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata in D minor, the opening measure dives right into a quick alternation between the hands that requires a mastery of control and articulation. As the piece develops, the intensity only heightens, finally leading to a thunderous grand finale. This work can be approached by students at the late-elementary level, as well as those who have had several years of studies. Students who are on the more advanced end may perform this piece as fast as they can while maintaining total control and ease!
