Anyone here play the Bach Toccatas? Which is the best to start with? D major? Is E minor the easiest?
C minor is magnificent. How hard??

have you tried "Toccata and Fugue in D minor"? to me its hard, but im just beginning this year, if you got experience you could play it, oh and yeah, it sounds better in organ so if you got a keyboard, play it in that ;D
Hit the right keys at the right moment and the instrument plays itself - Johann Sebastian Bach

I did the D major one in high school - I guess it's "easy" for a Bach piece.  None of them are easy if want to do them right, but that one's not bad to start with.

I played the one in mi minor,it is lovely,i can not tell if it is hard or not,i think it is depending on what level you want to play it,i am in the 4th year at conservatory,so i do not see it hard,but maybe it is:)there are a lot of beautiful things you can do there,it is full of music and sensitivities,very much to think,the fugue is very fast,your choise,but I just love it!:)Good luck!
