Studies on Chopin's Etudes

Studies on Chopin's Etudes

The Studies on Chopin's Etudes, by Leopold Godowsky, is a set of 53 arrangements of Chopin's Études, (there are actually 54, with the opus 25, no.2 having two versions written on the same page). They are renowned for their technical difficulty: critic Harold C. Schonberg called them "the most impossibly difficult things ever written for the piano." Several of the studies (for example, the study "Ignus Fatuus" on Chopin's Etude op. 10 no. 2) put the original right-hand part into the left hand; several others are for the left hand alone (for example, the study on the "Revolutionary" Etude, transposed to C-sharp minor). One study, called "Badinage," even combines two etudes, both in G-flat (the "Black Key" Etude of op. 10 and the "Butterfly" etude of op. 25).
