Musical purism is stupid. Grow up, guys. This is not only an incredibly useful exercise for the left hand, and a very impressive stunt, it's also quite beautiful. Yes, someone thinks it's beautiful.

@lidcrish how is this disgraceful? There are plenty of variations of pieces. Plus, props to Libetta. marc andre Hamelin and some other guy were the only two to even record Godowsky's studies on chopin's etudes. And Libetta is the only guy to play the whole set memorized. Definitely not disgraceful. Instead, I would like to call this "biwinning". By playing this, first off, AMAZINGLY & as a performance. And two, by being the first to even do this. Show some respect my friend. Libetta is awesome.

with one hand!!!!!!!!! in my dreams I couldn't do that with two! like if you agree!

The first best comment is just retarded... Bloody hell, if you want go beyond Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, play something more difficult, e.g. Etude in C-minor op.10 no.4. This is just disgraceful though...

If he was drinking a tea in his right hand, I'd say he was pretty bad ass!

Not brave enough to get within twenty feet of a publication these transcriptions. I'd rather keep my sanity.
Oh, by the way, please stop by my YT page and have a listen to my Second Piano Concerto. Much appreciated.

Godowsky was a wanker.

Hmmmm, I'm taking a shot that Godowsky is left-handed.

@RelapseGuitarer I am playing this etude, so just got curious about it. never thought of playing it by just a single left hand with melody on it. It would be more difficult to play it on right hand, that I promised you. The arrangement is built for left hand to play.

To those who say this is "pointless" "vandalism" or "Chopin's original is better" I say - take a pill. For God's sake the original is still there, supreme and unsullied, for anyone who wants to play it. Chopin's IS better music - that's not the point. The point of Godowsky's studies is to go BEYOND - in some cases WAY beyond, the technical skills of Chopin's day. This is a stunt, and a pretty good one. Should we stop trying to advance piano technique?
