About Toccata (for piano solo)

The Toccata was originally composed in 2013 for Vibraphone solo and dedicated to percussionist Miss Tan Lee Ying. It was transcribed for piano solo in 2014. 

This piece is a study of finger techniques such as 2nds, 4ths, daring leaps and accentuation on the off-beats. I was inspired by Sergei Prokofiev's Toccata, Op. 11 and his 7th Piano Sonata 3rd movement, Op. 83. I use the chromatic and whole tone scales extensively. Some of the parts are modifications from my Toccata-rhapsody composed in 2013.  

Toccata (for piano solo) is dedicated to my friends Miss Tan Yi Han and Mrs Sarah Lim.
