How hard is Chopin-Godowsky Op. 25 No. 11?

on: September 22, 2007, 12:46:46 PM

I spoke with a friend of mine about different Chopin Etudes and he asserted that Op. 25 No. 11 was far more difficult and beneficial to his technique than Op. 10 No. 4 or 10 No. 5.

This only works the right hand though, and for equal benefit, one would need to tackle the Godowsky study.

How hard is it?

Regards,

Daniel

Well, will it make much difference if I say "hard" or "very hard"?

Koji says it's pretty much impossible.

Should I just give up on the idea of the LH tech?
