This C-major Toccata is driven by detached repeated intervals and a crisp two-beat pulse. Its sound becomes progressively fuller as the lower voice joins the upper pattern.
Measures 1–16 develop short upper figures over separated bass notes. A stronger high-register passage descends into a brief slurred link.
Measures 17–24 restore the main idea with repeated lower intervals, creating a denser chordal texture. Measures 25–32 shift the continuous eighth notes into the bass, then reunite the parts in emphatic closing chords.
Interesting fact: The brief connected descent in measure 16 stands out against the staccato articulation that dominates nearly the entire piece.
