The Toccata in B-flat major is a piece for solo piano written in 1932 by Aram Khachaturian.
[1] However, the Toccata became so well known so quickly that it is now considered a separate piece; the suite from which it came is little known.
The Toccata utilises some Armenian folk melodies and rhythms, as well as baroque and contemporary 20th Century techniques.
A central section Andante espressivo leads to a reprise of the opening motifs.
Those who have recorded the Toccata include Benno Moiseiwitsch, Shura Cherkassky, Şahan Arzruni, Felicja Blumental, Mindru Katz, Ruth Laredo, Roland Pöntinen and Murray McLachlan.
