Fun piece - and with the video it was fun to learn

Nice arrangement, well done!

I bought the whole book. Amazing!
All the pieces are very beautiful. Each piece is a story, a world in itself.
Going for Broke, Karmic Reprise, Momentary Fragments, in the baroque style are my favorites...
Thank you Mr David Hicken for your exceptional talent.

I like it very much, thank you for this wonderful music.

The Gladiator soundtrack is one of my all time favorite pieces, something I’ve always wanted to play on the piano. When I saw David’s rendition on YT for the first time, I fell in love. I’ve started practicing his piece this week and it’s been giving me such joy. I can’t wait to memorize it all and play it wherever I see a piano!

Bought “Secrets To Better Composing & Improvising” not because I want to become a composer, but because I badly needed chord exercises. Thank you David. All your instructions books are a real gem.

Legend of Taktam has every ingredients you expect from a David Hicken's piano piece that makes it so fun to listen to, to learn and to play : lyricism and real piano technique, modulations that attract your ear, joy, dexterity, inventiveness and the sensitivity of a beautiful melody.
All this will make you want to buy the piece and feel the satisfaction of being able to play it : to yourself, to your family, to friends.
And above all if you are a piano teacher you know that your pupils will enjoy playing it a lot while making progress. Real music for real pianists ! Just « play it like you wrote it »

Great stuff

My sister dreamed of performing this composition, and I gave her this little gift. Here is her comment:

"When I heard David Hicken's Shchedryk for the first time, it was love from the first sound. And I really wanted to learn this particular arrangement. Thanks for the notes. I fulfilled my dream."

a wealth of different and challenging material

I love the feel of this piece, and it is very fun to play.

The pieces in this book are very nice and soothing to play. 100% Worth it!

The immersion felt during the 5 minutes is unbreakable. However, the score itself is of a difficulty that can be mastered with some practice. However, in order to express it as desired, basic skills must be sufficient. I am lacking in basic skills and am constantly stumbling.

I had been looking for a technical training piece to work on velocity and synchronization between the right and left hands for some time when I stumbled upon this gem. It was what I was looking for on a technical level but what a beauty! Very melodious and dynamic, modern and traditional at the same time, this fabulous adaptation of a Ukrainian song by David Hicken is to be recommended to all pianists. Sure to please all audiences this piece is a real pleasure to play.

Beautiful, thoughtful arrangement without being weird or too difficult. Will definitely purchase more arrangements and compositions from David!
