Despite Eberl's exploitation of new pianistic techniques, the Toccata (subtitled in one edition “Toccata fugata”) is a conscious nod to the past, and to Mozart's late interest in fugal writing, encouraged by Baron van Swieten; possibly the several fugal collections published by Reicha in Paris and Vienna also acted as a stimulus.
