About this work
The Toccata in F major opens a vast space with long pedal points beneath manual figures that continue in canon. The difficulty lies less in producing a large sound than in retaining a supple pulse across these spans. Runs need to keep their direction despite the spectacular duration of the bass notes.
The Fugue contrasts and eventually brings together two materials: a highly articulated first subject and a second with more continuous motion. Its listening pleasure comes from their gradual superimposition. Locating entries, episodes and cadences prevents the second section from sounding merely denser than the first.
Practise the Toccata’s canons without pedals, then add the long bass notes while keeping the body relaxed. For the Fugue, learn each subject separately before tackling their combinations. A stable, readable registration will serve the architecture better than changes intended to underline every difficulty.
