Godowsky Left Hand Only Chopin Study No 3

A performance I did of Godowsky's version of Chopin's Op 10 No 3 etude written for left hand only. I'm a chemist by profession, a pianist by hobby, so don't expect too much.

congratulations on your fine attempt! do continue your wonderful hobby!

just a small suggestion: there are some lines that godowsky hold across different harmonies so do consider using the sostenuto pedal (especially when you're playing on a grand here). Also, explore the una corda! it gives a wonderful colour change too. Don't let your left leg idle! (:

Cheers and best wishes.

Thanks for your suggestion; constructive criticism is always welcome. Sostenuto sounds like it could be an interesting idea. I will give it a try when I next practice. I am currently working on Godowsky's left hand suite. I'll try see if i can apply your suggestion to that as well.

So beautiful! Great job! Chopin's 10/3 etude is always a great one to play, and Godowsky was a genius in how he re-arranged them!

Cheers! (:

I still like Chopin's version better than Godowsky's, but he did a good job a fine job with his. I loved your playing very enjoyable :-).

For that, I'll let you fire a waterpolo ball directly into my face at least once more without taking it personally. Nicely played, and thanks for bringing me to a fresh look at classical music
