| Understandably, the authorship of the toccata has long been a puzzle to musicologists. |
| In three movements, played without a break, the symphony begins deceptively, as a more-or-less neoclassic toccata. |
| The opening movement combines a brass fanfare with a Widorian toccata figure for its music argument. |
| Beginning with a toccata for 12 car horns, the music constantly shifts its style and is never dull. |
| The second finale replaces the sostenuto passage in the first finale with a ghostly toccata. |
| The words sennet and tucket were English manglings of the Italian terms sonata and toccata. |
