J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Here is my attempt to play the beginning of "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" on Virtual Piano. Well, I must say that it sounds a lot better on Organ than on Piano, and also that my version is slower than it should be, but i'm still proud of it (and taking comfort that Bach is not listening:)

Please note that it requires remapping the keyboard. It's not absolutely necessary - if you play 'Pi' as 'P i' fast enough it sounds almost the same. Also '06Tpu' sounds almost as good even without the capital T.

Give it a try, it's a bit easier than it looks, but nevertheless, requires some practice.
