Composed by Schumann, R. Arranged by Michael Bomier. Concert,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 15 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #3589173. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862654).The Toccata op.10 is more than a bold concert piece only attempted by the highest-level virtuosoi, like Horowitz, Bolet, and Pogerelich, it is, in our trimmed-down version, a classic case study in note-management as a Way of Life, for the Aspiring Concert Artist at the piano. Sometimes the harmony changes with every 1-8 note!
The figuration is an alternating motion, often in both hands, from outer notes to inner notes, and back again, at a good clip, and without much of a break at all! Our setting has had some octaves removed, and has many of the chords respelled so you can see what the chord actually IS! Some leaps are octave-shifted.
IF you decide this piece is worth a try, remember to think harmonically, and not just with notes. It is a series of chords, all displayed for the player to execute for the delight and astonishment of any listener. Even at our conservative tempo listing, the piece really shows how the piano can be its own three-man band! Pedal as little as possible, for the harmonic clarity that one should strive for. MBB
