RIP Keith Emerson, man was a genius...
From Wikipdeia -
The instrumental "Toccata" is based on the Fourth Movement of Alberto Ginastera's 1st Piano Concerto, arranged by Keith Emerson with special synthesised effects; Carl Palmer wrote a percussion accompaniment[3] using newly developed drum synthesisers. Ginastera's publishers' initial response was that Ginastera did not allow adaptations of his work, and they weren't going to grant the publishing rights. Emerson flew to Geneva to discuss his arrangement with Ginastera himself. Once Ginastera heard it, he personally arranged for clearance.[2] To quote Keith Emerson: "He had this crappy little stereo system with really shitty speakers ... he was fooling around trying to set it up, and I volunteered to help him. He sat silent throughout the playback, and at the end I thought he shouted "terrible!" But what he had really said was, "formidable!" - which is very good!"
