And for those interested, several of my own live Chopin-Godowsky Etude performances (along with selected pieces by Messiaen, Ligeti and Sorabji) can be found online, free for download, at: www.mp3.com/albertfrantz A left-hand only ‘Revolutionary’ that finished a Berlin recital last year is perhaps most successful, though there are as well topsy-turvy versions of Opp. 10/1, 10/5 and the Etude in Thirds, in which the left hand assumes the original right-hand part. I somewhat obsessively adhere closely to Chopin’s own tempi in my performances, the left-hand-only etudes included, to retain their emotional character, though I refuse to perform the set complete, to retain my sanity! Happy listening, Albert Frantz www.mp3.com/badura
