Highly recommend, an engaging composition that holds your interest, a wonderful piece well worth one's time. It's a strong, impressive composition & fun to play. Though has six flats don't let that deter you..it has lots of repetition which facilitates learning. Many parts of this piece would be fun for even 'intermediate +' players with a little persistence.

This is an adequate re-print of this popular Toccata. Not bad for $4.As for the work itself, I consider the piece to be less difficult than this site suggests (very advanced). I recall memorizing it some 30+ years ago but dropped it not too long after. It is in A-B-A form. The 2 A sections are fast, and being in e-flat minor (6 flats) the fingers are frequently on the black keys making it relatively easy to read and play. I find the slower rhapsodic B section to be a bit more difficult. Overall it sounds more difficult than it is to play.

My goodness...the reviews here range from those claiming this is a beginner level piece that they played when they were 10 to those that say it is an insanely advanced song that requires overwhelming practice time. Neither of these are true - it is certainly a more difficult piece due to its fast performance tempo and some tricky rhythm spots, but if you've played a Beethoven sonata or perhaps a Rachmaninoff prelude, its around the same technique level. An energetic, lush piece that will be received well in recitals and similar events, though i.m.o. is too show-offy of a song to choose for an audition.
