The
Prelude, Hymn And Toccata
1987 is dedicated to, and
was commissioned by the
Nettle-Markham Piano Duo.
It was the second work to
have been written for
them by the composer, the
first being the Sonata
For Piano Duet Op.92.
This twenty minute work
begins with Leighton's
typical preludial
double-dotted rhythms and
contrapuntal textures; it
develops into dark,
passionate music and
erupts into single and
double cadenzas. The
gentle Hymn is ushered in
quietly and unfolds in
long, rhapsodic sections,
building up to more
climactic cadenzas before
dissolving gradually to
an ethereal conclusion.
The Toccata finale shows
Leighton's masterly piano
writing and contrasts
biting, rhythmic motifs
with sweeping, yearning
elegiac phrases.
