An agile and crisp Toccata. It draws from the tradition of renowned modern French toccatas, notably those by Saint-Saëns, Debussy, and Ravel. Pascal's Toccata is characterized by a thin texture and a limpid, elegant musical character. Considering its period of composition, it can be positioned as a successor to Pierre Sancan's Toccata (1943). Although Sancan and Pascal were close friends who both studied at the Paris Conservatoire, their pianistic styles were entirely different. Unlike Sancan's serious intensity, Pascal's work possesses a humor that soothes the listener's heart. Its unobtrusive nature makes it suitable for concerts and also well-suited as an encore piece. In 2/4 time, Vivace. The main key is F major. Dedicated to Yo Pizzirani.
