The Toccatas are fairly early repertoire of Bachs and are not explicitly composed for harpsichord or organ, as these were the times where the performer, as with Froberger or Reincken, was given the choice to modify the pieces depending on the instrument being played. As a result, these Toccatas can be played on either. They are challenging without being very difficult, but certainly not for the beginner!
