This edition marks the first publication of Rontgen's Toccata. This work was discovered while digging through countless manuscripts of solo piano music in the Rontgen Archives at the Netherlands Music Institute in The Hague in 2019 (catalogue No.107/087). The work is undated and has never been published. It is titled Toccata and has no dedication or other information regarding it's creation (date or location). Given the relative neatness of the manuscript, it is presumed that the composer intended it's publication. It's style suggests being composed during Rontgen's mature period, certainly after the first decade of the 20th Century. It is the only known stand-alone Toccata in Rontgen's output. In the present edition, editorial markings are in brackets, and fingering is by the editor. All pedal indications are by the composer unless otherwise indicated. © Mark Anderson
