early intermediate
Toccata HWV 586
George Frideric Handel
What's this piece like?
It is unknown when Handel composed this piece but, according to Grove Music, it was likely written before 1720. The character is gentle and stately, with a walking bass line where the fingering must be well learned for the sound to be even and move horizontally. The right hand has many ornaments, which might also be a challenge and should be learned carefully.
Who's this piece for?
Ideal for intermediate pianists who like inspiring, relaxing and dreamy pieces.
