This should be incentive for you to develop your transpostition skills. Imagine being able to analyze the harmony of a piece and transpose it into, say, C Major.

You may be able to find a simpler version of the work in question online. Try www.sheetmusicplus.com. Good luck.

That makes it especially hard to play sharps and flats...

If you can do so much more with so many less notes, why not?  A piece doesn't have to be overcomplicated and virtuosic to be great.
