Czerny is far from easy to play, the speed is not surprising. I do not
remember Czerny as difficult to listen to, when played at the piano.
As for Bo�llman's Toccata, it is usually interpreted very fast. It was
written for organs having pneumatically assisted tractions, so it is indeed
playable at high speed. Of course, one has to significantly slow down into
rooms having a lot of reverberation. Or when using big mechanical tractions!
