Toccata in Morse Code — Advanced Piano Duet

This piece was premiered at the National Conference on Piano Pedagogy as a digital keyboard and piano. The piece can also be played as a 4-hand piano duet, or by one performer with digital sequencer. The powerful maestoso opening introduces a recurring dotted-rhythm motif, suggesting the tapping of Morse Code. A lively, articulated theme follows which builds in harmonic and rhythmic tension to a dramatic ending.
