Hiller, Wilfried - Tarot Toccatas

In a number of works for musical theatre – ”The Rat-catcher” (The Pied Piper) based on a libretto by Michael Ende, the opera ”Eduard auf dem Seil” (Edward on the Tightrope) on a story by Mörike and ”Der Schimmelreiter” (The Ghost Rider) based on the well-known novella by Theodor Storm – Wilfried Hiller has used the organ to illustrate exceptional dramatic scenarios. The addition of further works has now resulted in a collection of Toccatas, some of them playful, some meditative, which may be performed individually or as a cycle, either in concert or for tuition purposes.
