Johann Sebastian Bach ： Toccata fis-moll BWV 910

This F-sharp minor toccata is rich in shaded expression, combining freely unfolding, improvisatory ideas with contrapuntal writing in which several voices are closely interwoven. Within the piece, slower passages alternate with more animated ones, changing the character from quiet tension to vigorous development. Highlights include the exchanges between voices and the way short motives evolve through varied treatment. In performance, ornaments and intricate figures should be articulated clearly while giving each voice its own expressive line. Use the pedal mainly to support the resonance, and maintain the overall flow of the structure without excessive tempo fluctuations.
