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  ;D

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?
