Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.869205 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Baroque,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score. With Adagio … molto cantabile! 3). 18 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #3903. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869205). Program note: I met Mana Tokuno last spring at a concert in Montpelier, Vermont. The Montpelier Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Victor Rosenbaum, did the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 with Mana as soloist. My work, Seven Steps To Heaven, for string orchestra was also on the program. After the concert we all went to a local restaurant for a bite to eat, and Mana asked me if I would be interested in writing her a piano piece. I said, Sure!!! For years I have been a fan of Glenn Gould’s recordings of the music by J.S. Bach. I am also a fan of the keyboard sonatas of Bach’s son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. To prepare myself for this work for Mana, I delved into the scores and recordings of these two awe-inspiring musicians/composers, in particular the Toccatas and Partitas of J.S. Bach. I wrote the entire work during a three-week stay at the American Academy in Rome, 2009-10. Tokuno Toccata is in five sections. 1) Prelude … Fantasia!!! 2) Adagio … molto cantabile! 3) Allegro molto … 4) Largo … molto cantabile!!! 5) Allegro … Fuga a tre voci. Enjoy!!!Audio link.
