Toccata

Naji Hakim wrote this virtuoso piece for the Breda International Organ Competition which takes place in the Netherlands in 2012. In the first bars, the piece already captivates the audience with brilliant semiquaver figures and chord beats in classical toccata style which are tailored in a masterly fashion to the technical possibilities of the instrument. A reflective interlude (Adagio) brings some peace and quiet, playing with tonally charming triadic chains. The brilliant four-minute concert piece ends with a virtuoso finale.
