‘Toccata for Clarinet and Piano’ was written in 2007 and is dedicated to Samuel Hernández, a clarinettist pursuing his Master's at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. The composer, who was also the pianist in their duo, wrote it during his musical training at the composition faculty of the same centre. 

The work reflects the composer's extensive work writing for Samuel and other performers from the woodwind faculty in between 2006 and 2009, embodying the spirit of collaboration and musical innovation.

The piece was later revised and won First Prize at the II Agustín Ramos Chamber Music Composition Competition, leading to the programme of its premiere on January 27, 2018, at the Agustín Ramos Chamber Music Festival in La Candelaria (Tenerife, Spain).

The Toccata showcases a lively interplay between clarinet and piano, featuring rhythmic vigor and expressive lyrical moments. This dynamic and engaging piece is a testament to the enduring partnership and artistic journey shared by colleagues and friends.

El compositor, quien también era el pianista en su dúo, la escribió durante su formación musical en la facultad de composición del mismo centro. 

La obra refleja el extenso trabajo del compositor escribiendo, no solo para Samuel si no también para otros instrumentistas de la facultad de viento madera entre 2006 y 2009, encarnando el espíritu de colaboración e innovación musical.

La pieza fue revisada y ganó el Primer Premio en el II Concurso de Composición de Música de Cámara Agustín Ramos, lo que programó su estreno el 27 de enero de 2018 en el Festival de Música de Cámara Agustín Ramos en La Candelaria (Tenerife, España).

La Toccata busca una interacción animada entre clarinete y piano, con vigor rítmico y momentos líricos expresivos. Esta pieza dinámica y cautivadora es un testimonio de la duradera asociación y el viaje artístico compartido por colegas y amigos.

The composition is easy to read, fun to play and sound professional when performed. Arranged by Fishel Pustilnik, very well known as Composer/Publisher. His books Jazz & Pop Piano Paradise (Volumes 1-5) have become a commercial success and a hit with music teachers and students in Canada. (Thousands books already sold in Canada). They are also starting to enter the US, Brazil, Norway, Russia, Holland, Israel, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Latvia and UK markets. This is a wonderful new publication. These pieces offer much appeal for the young pianist and excellent choice for a supplementary book for students from Grade 3 to 8. Lore Ruschiensky, Editor, (from review in The Canadian Music Teacher) Yesterday I spent at least two pleasure filled hours playing through your imaginatively inventive compositions. Congratulations! I trust students will decide to program your well crafted and entertaining works on recitals and examinations. Review from Dr. Jack Behrens, B.Sc. (Julliard), PH.D (Harvard), Director of Academic Studies, The Glenn Gould School I liked this book the best so far. Great work! You have a gift for melody and your arrangements are very playable. Congratulations on the 3rd Volume. Mark Carlstein, Hal Leonard, Keyboard Publications.
