Details
 
Three connected movements each with their own character.
Prelude is energetic and riving, featuring highly syncopated melodies and frequent changes of key and phrase length.
The central Toccata is a series of traditional cadenzas for cornet and euphonium that ends ina virtuoso duet for the two soloist and leads directly into the Fugue.
The baroque-style fugue keeps breaking out into episodes of 'Swingle' bebop. The conflicting styles both vie for pre-eminence but are eventually happily reconciled and combined to bring this piece to a close.

Duration: 13:32

Recorded on Polyphonic QPRL232D Sea Pictures
