Performance Notes: Toccata is a musical form, usually for keyboard instruments, written in a free style that includes brilliant passagework characterized by fast tempos, rapid notes and runs, intricate thythms, 
complex harmonies, and other virtuoso elements designed to show off the performer’s skill and dexterity. 

This miniature toccata for piano features a single persistent staccato note, repeated by the left hand, while the right hand continually crosses over the left to play the melody above and below the repeated note. Since the staccato element is a feature of the music, pedaling is not used, except at measure 50.

Set the metronome at a slow tempo for learning: quarter note =70, and much higher for performance: quarter note = 100 - 250. The faster it is played, the more impact it has on the listener!

Think of the story behind this music as about a young lady who  just loves the waltz, and loves to sing and dance to its lilting triple time.  Her dancing partner is a dashing, ever so handsome young man, who sweeps her off her feet and takes her breath away with his charm and grace, as they float away on the wings of A Dance In Triple Time!

I originally composed this piece as a little warm up ditty for my chorus, but as I worked the melody and the harmony, it grew into just a little bit more than a warm up exercise. We always enjoyed singing this little piece for our audiences. And they always enjoyed hearing it.

One caveat; The lyrics go by quickly! Leads, use your best diction and pronunciation, so the story doesn't get lost. Harmony voices, keep the melody prominent, by always singing your la-las at least one dynamic notch below the melody!

Choose the waltz tempo of your choice - very relaxed to very lilting in 1.  Base your choice on being able to deliver the lyrics with great clarity, especially in the faster passages. Be sure to observe the accelerandos, broadening tempos, a tempos, legatos, and staccatos. They all have much to do with delivering the style of this piece, especially the off beat la-las. Some pairs are staccato, in other pairs, the first la is legato, the second la is staccato.

The metronome marks more accurately describe the accelerandos and broadenings. On the repeat at 11, a slight increase in the tempo will add urgency and intensity. Keep the melody prominent as it moves to different voices, beginning at 37. Maintain the crisp staccato harmony against the legato melody, and enjoy the change to full legato for all voices.

This 40 measure scherzo was composed mainly for enjoyment by beginners  to play at their own skill level, and for advanced pianists as an exercise in artistry, bringing out  delicate phrasing, counter melody lines in the bass, varying dynamics, and projecting a light hearted  feeling throughout. The suggested tempo of  q.=90 is entirely optional, of course, giving beginners a comfortable pace, while allowing advanced players go display their artistry and technique at a more brilliant level  .

Lyricist Sammy Cahn recalls, One day during a very hot spell in Los Angeles the phone rang and it was comoser Jule Styne to say, 'Frank wants a Christmas song.' Cahn resisted. Jule, we're not going to write any Christmas song. After Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas'? The idea's just ridiculous. Styne was emphatic, however. 'Frank wants a Christmas song.'  So they sat down and wrote one for the B-side of Sinatra's White Christmas. Ever since, (1954), The Christmas Waltz has been covered dozens of times over the years by a wide variety of artists, too numerous to include here, and has become a Holiday Standard.
