Leopold Godowsky was one of the great pianists and an even more impressive composer/arranger. His records are a bit disappointing, but a kind soul has organized the most essential, three tracks of Godowsky plays Godowsky + piano roll Alt Wien

Lately, when I’m not participating in village events, I took the time to indulge in long listening sessions. Specifically of pieces by Satie, Godowsky, and Bortkiewicz. World truly is a beautiful place full of beautiful music

I'm a 99th-percentile Godowsky apologist & generally love his fractal complexifications of already-challenging music (some of the Chopin etude rewrites are surprisingly lovely!), but this lurching, ridiculous version of "Triana" is too much even for my awful taste

Incredible saga at the link. Almost shot in the head during antisemitic violence at his home in Odessa, in 1910 he won a Bluthner piano at a competition. The judges included Busoni and Godowsky!
Virtuoso pianist Jascha Spivakovsky was warned to flee growing Nazi attacks by Richard Strauss in a musically coded message and arranged an Australasian tour for his Trio. They boarded a ship in 1933 just a few days before the Nazi seizure of power.

#53 Nazrin Rashidova. Godowsky Tyrolean. Stück heißt Schuhplattler (was harmlos dämlich scheint), liegt brutal unbequem in den Händen, ist (immer undankbar) 10mal schwerer, als es klingt. Rashidova hat rhythmische Spannung wie Spitzenballett und betanzt Rasierklingen mit der Contenance einer Queen

(2) As in the case of some of the Godowsky Chopin studies, the idea that the LH being naturally less dextrous for right-handed pianists needs its own etudes to develop dexterity, whereas the RH does not (or that standard two-handed etudes are often effectively RH etudes)
