Abstract
The focus of this lecture recital is to discuss and perform Godowsky’s eight transcriptions of Chopin’s Etude op. 10 no. 5 in a clear and illuminating manner. These eight transcriptions are representative of the various forms of transcription Godowsky employs. Focusing on only one etude of Chopin will bring a cohesive format to the lecture recital. The purpose of this lecture recital is to clarify the issues of ostensible over abundance of difficulties and textures that have caused the studies to be misunderstood and neglected. It is the author’s goal to present comprehensive examples and testimonies pertaining to the merits and ingenuity of these works.
