Motorcity Toccata for Solo Piano

Hi! Actually I just completed my piano toccata piece inspired from living near the motor city (Detroit, MI) in my childhood...

I decided to make this toccata piece since I thought the mechanistic characteristics of the genre match well with general images of the motor city...

In this piece I tried to express free style of lots of jazz and popular music heard when I was growing up near Detroit, while keeping this piece modern classical music...

Hope you enjoy this piece, and please feel free to leave any comments and suggestions :)

    Hi Nostalgia, and welcome to the forums!

    This piece put a smile on my face. Maybe because of its light character at times. It seems to be a hard one at other times, though, and I'm sure that if I delved deeper I would end up finding some less convincing passages (to me) but I'll leave it like that and just suggest you to keep composing! I know this is not very helpful but... I just enjoyed the piece on a first listen and I am afraid my time won't let me to listen it again to better analyse it.

    Best regards,
    Daniel–Ø,
