Studies on Chopin's Etudes Vol. 1-5 No. 1-48, for piano

Arr.:Godowsky, Leopold

Godowsky, einer der größten Pianisten des goldenen Zeitalters der Klavierkunst und schon zu Lebzeiten eine Legende, tastete keine einzige Note Chopins an. Vielmehr sind seine Chopin-Studien analytische, manchmal fast wissenschaftliche Annäherung an die untergründigen, halb verborgenen Potenziale der chopinschen Etüden. Godowskys Studien gelten bis heute als das Nonplusultra des Virtuosentums. Die 5 Bände enthalten alle 53 Etüden.
