Toccata in E minor, BWV 914Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)1611:32
       
Zhihan Jiang, Pianoforte
Belonging to Bach\\\'s earlier works and reflecting the North-German keyboard school of his upbringing is the E minor toccata, which has a clear structure in 4 sections. The short Prelude opens the piece which is then contrasted with a double fugue, followed by a movement reminiscent of a recitative and ending with a virtuosic fugue.
  
  
Op.58 Sonata 3 in B minorFrederic Chopin (1810 - 1849)
        1
Zhihan Jiang, Pianoforte
As the last of Chopin\\\'s sonatas, the first movement commences with an emotional opening into a lyrical second subject, containing an almost unbearable sense of yearning and nostalgia with an increasingly emotionally and harmonically complex development.

Beethoven Sonata No.24 in F Sharp Major Opus 78Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)1411:50
        1 and 2
Zhihan Jiang, Pianoforte
Interestingly known to be one of Beethoven's own favourite sonatas, the first movement is constructed through simple lyricism and harmonic writing that mimics a string quartet, which is contrasted by a much more direct finale.
  
  
Toccata in D minor Opus 11Sergei Prokofiev (1891 - 1953)
       
Zhihan Jiang, Pianoforte
Introduced through a repeating D and developed through increasingly violent chromaticism is Prokofiev's toccata, a popular yet extremely difficult showpiece.
