Khachaturian's Toccata in E flat minor. Very fun to play. Sound way harder than it is. Here's a version performed by a cute girl:



As you can see this piece is a real crowd pleaser. If you play Rach you should try this for sure!

Wow Grigory Sokolov! It is my favourite pianist! I was at his last concert in Amsterdam and even Evgeny Kissin was in the public and gave him a standing ovation!

What's cute about her : the leather bracelet, the crotch-length mini skirt or the fishnet stockings. I never saw her face.

Oy, you can say that again. I've never encountered trickier rhythms (altho maybe that says something about me). He's got one hand doing one rhythm and it feels another hand doing a completely different piece!
