I love the e minor one. It is easier than the other toccatas, so you can play a beautiful piece in a shorter amount of time. The other toccatas are fun to learn and nice,too.
Beethoven Op 2/2
Chopin Op 20, maybe op 47/38
Debussy Etude 7
Grieg Op 16
Want to do:
Chopin Concerti 1 and 2
Beethoven Waldstein
Ravel Miroirs

I love them all.
I'm practising D major and C minor.
Yes they are all beautiful and fun to play.

The best for whom?  ;D

Why not give the BWV 911 in C minor one a try?
Not for the faint-hearted, though.  ;)

Best,
M.W.
