So this is what they mean by "tickling the ivories"?

@MoonMankkkkkk ..your last conclusion is on the nose pretty much...except "using LH more would have helped his compositions", probably, but not by much because they are largely OK as they stand. Please note that etudes, by Ch. or anybody else, are highly contrived compositions, so the hand balance in them is going to be distorted by this...that Ch. had this built-in "imbalance" favoring the RH is hardly original with me...am picking it up from my more observant than me musical betters...

Point taken-what about Etude 4, Op. 10?-, but to say the left hand was neglected because his "brain hemispheres were damn assymetrical" implies Chopin was deficient in this regard. If not, all your comment amounts to is, "Chopin neglected the left hand, but this wasn't the result of a defect", meaning he chose to "neglect" the left hand because using it sufficiently would have hurt his compositions, (which by their nature require a emphasis on the right hand).

@MoonMankkkkkk ...in the Revolutionary Etude all melodic action is in the RH, and the LH does up-and-down scales....i.e. our boy is still split between the hemispheres. For somebody who is NOT split between the hemispheres...see the Liszt etudes, by and large....

@twooffour ...you want to concentrate on the distinction between "extremely interesting and engaging", which possibly might be the case, and "musically making sense", and making sense TO WHOM?, which might not be the case. The Godowski "recompositions" are certainly largely very interesting,a good thing the guy went to the trouble, etc.,but, nevertheless, they are are musical bizarreries, circus acts, lending the listener no new emotional
insights...but impressing the "pianist" in some of us..

That's an absolutely absurd explanation and doesn't account for the Revolutionary Etude.

Brilliant!
