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 »
You will be so happy to have purchased this magnificent piece of music! As ever, David has given us yet another piece that is thoroughly delightful to play. Reminiscent of Bach, approachable, and very worth the effort to learn! I highly recommend!
Loved filling my house with Mr. Hicken playing Legend of Taktam on Youtube, and then saw that I could order the sheet music. I began to practice it. At first, it was a little like patting my head and rubbing my tummy. Then, how beautifully clever the key changes progressed, with the melody weaving throughout like a ribbon. Thank you for making this wonderful music available for regular folk like me to play.
The music arrangement was amazing, I can't stop to listening to it all the time. Personally, I wish the music sheet had been included with the pedals.
A epic music for organ, really very nice.
I was a mama-trained, daddy-sent, accomplished classical pianist all my childhood through college. Tired of the over saturation, I pursued another career, completely dropped classical music and only played for church for 48 years. I lost all my classical skill and technique. When I retired from my career, I wanted to begin practicing again but was very bored lack of strength, skill and the same classical pieces from college days. I had severe osteoarthritis in both wrists that caused stabbing pain in my hands. After CMC Arthroplasty reconstruction on both my hands and wrists at age 60, my hands were better than ever, but beginning piano again seemed impossible to attain. I was desperate and prayed for "something different" to motivate me to build my skill again. While trudging through the scales, arpeggios, and technique practice, God blessed me to stumble on a DAVID HICKEN link at the age of 69. I was mesmerized with the desire to be able to play again like that. After 2 years of technique practice and at least 9 David Hicken's books of brilliantly designed compositions, I am SO MOTIVATED as my brain and hands are slowly but surely getting back the skill that I used to enjoy. It is more rewarding than ever to be able to play again, (like a long-lost language) that I thought was gone forever. I am elated with motivation at 71 years this Sept. 2023, that my greatest joy is still ahead of me. I am here to tell you, no matter how long it has been, you CAN do it again. Thank you, David Hicken!

Tellement accrocheur. Un beau défi pour moi. Hâte d'en faire profiter mes auditeurs.
Once again we have here a great, satisfying, elegant piano piece. It's fast, precise fun to play, joyful, very well written for pianists who really want to impress and please an audience. Thank you David for giving us all that, happiness and enchantment !
