Ideal for pianists looking for a work heavy in bravura, Sepuluh Jari is an exhilarating toccata incorporating non-Western styles. Drawing on the Indian saraswati scale and Balinese pelog scale for its harmonic material, Farr creates cascading scalar passages that eventually arrive at joyous declamatory moments. Its challenging passages require swift finger work, with insistent pulsed material is interspersed with elastic rushes of energy and brief snatches of stillness and reflection.
