The toccatas are youthful, improvisatory, virtuoso works, composed in the aftermath of Bach's trip in 1705 to Lubeck to hear the great Buxtehude (he travelled for ten days on foot to get there), perhaps the greatest organist of the time. Buxtehude was a master of the stylus fantasticus\\u2014a very unrestrained and free way of composing, using dramatic and extravagant rhetorical gestures; the influence of this technique can clearly be heard in the seven keyboard toccatas Bach composed sometime between 1705 and 1714.\\r\u003cbr\u003eAngela Hewitt's Bach playing has won unanimous praise from all quarters for its rhythmic vitality, tonal clarity and poetic warmth. This is another outstanding issue in what is widely recognized as the benchmark modern recordings of Bach's keyboard works.\u003cp\u003eToccata in C minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata in G major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata in F sharm minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata in E minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata in D minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata in G minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata in D major\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159401283969,"sku":"683562","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51Ogb35IVKL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976267","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/683562","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
