The Toccatas are Bach’s playground of ideas. They are among his ‘rebellious’ youthful works, experimental in form, startlingly bold in expression, ambitious in the design of their fugues.
Italian-Australian pianist Jonathan Ferrucci regards the pieces as a ‘musical laboratory’ in which Bach ultimately found his own style. Ferrucci says ‘The Toccatas are powerful and unpredictable, and when I play them, I feel as though I were composing alongside Bach, in that moment’.
