It only really has two major technical difficulties in the whole piece: arpeggios and chromatics. And it's very repetitive. Every day we are afforded a new chance. The problem with life is not that you run out of chances. In the end, what you run out of are days.

A sure-fire crowd-pleaser that's somewhat easier--though no walk in the park--is "Croatian Rhapsody." [video:youtube]7DKBKZ8Cxeo[/video] http://www.youtube.com/pianomonica

Downloading the music now. It's hard to judge what level I'm at. I'm a returning adult as of October who can't play at the advanced level I left off at in college. I'm polishing Chopin's Nocturne op 72 that I performed in high school and it's taking forever. What I'm looking for now, difficulty-wise, is something like Dustin O'Halloran's Op 28. It looks like Nyman's piece is great.
