Episode 102 - Toccata in G
This podcast features an improvised piano piece I've titled, "Toccata."
A Toccata has to do with 'touch,' with fast-moving passages and repeating musical figures.
What you'll hear arose spontaneously as I played one evening.
The truth is, I've had similar experiences at the piano for more than a half century.
Letting my fingers wander and explore, I'll find myself delighting in a spontaneously-emerging sequence of notes,
then spinning these 'riffs' into unfolding melodies and textures.
I hope you enjoy the music.
I hope this finds you well.
With love, Jessica
