toccatina
Italian composer
Definition
A brief toccata — a short, rapid, etude-like piece designed to develop finger dexterity and evenness of touch.
Interpretive Guidance
Maintain absolute rhythmic evenness at a consistent tempo. In Kabalevsky's Toccatina Op. 27 No. 12, the repeating figuration should feel mechanical and precise — use minimal pedal and keep each note equally weighted.
