For some reason Schumann doesn't seem to have attracted MIDI sequencers in the way that other composers of a similar profile have done.
However the Toccata we have just published is a thoughtful and entertaining piece. On this occasion the steel drums were augmented by vibes and underpinned by a bass synthesizer. This combination displays the free flowing and sparkling music to good effect. It is one of several famous examples of the Toccata form in our collection including examples from Bach and Widor.
Incidentally the name toccata comes from the Italian for 'touch' and I suppose this describes the exposition of keyboard dexterity and touch that these works display.
Not surprisingly today's streaming sample gives you 30 lofi seconds of the Schumann Toccata in C Major Opus 7
