Toccata

I've been listening to some of Bach's toccata and fugues and i'd quite like to have a go at writing one of my own. I've managed to grasp the basics of the fugue from articles on Young Composers.

Are there any qualities to a toccata i should know about before I begin writing one, and if so would someone please tell me?

Thanks,

No it isn't.

It's true that Wikipedia is lacking in some areas (it would be very surprising if it weren't), but the article on fugue, for instance, is quite comprehensive. As are many other articles. And some are short and badly written. It varies from article to article, and, while I'm fine with people having opinions about the philosophy behind Wikipedia, the actual quality of its articles ought to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
