Bowen.......Toccata

I just heard this Toccata by  York Bowen by Gregory Brown.....of the 5 Browns. Is this available? I would love a copy of it. Thanks for all your help! :)

Tis a copyrighted score. Bowen lived until 1960 or so, I believe.

Also, really, the 5 Browns? Talk about marketing ploys to conceal a lack of talent relative to other pianists. Listen to the Stephen Hough or Joop Celis recordings. Those are hair-raisingly brilliant, not conservatory-polished and boring.
