Godowsky/Chopin Etudes
on: February 08, 2009, 09:34:06 AM
Hi
I wonder where I can get these? I don't want to download them from a site, since I probably will lose the paper, so I want to buy them. Does anyone know where?

If you have them downloaded, you can reprint them anytime you like. If you tend to lose your paper, which is quite curious, buying is the worst you can do.  ::)

I know. Still, you're bound to get comments if it doesn't make sense at all.

Given the description the etudes should be included here:

 Or search other online sheet music stores.

Now is a good time to buy them, they are available in a single volume from (I think) Hal Leonard, at a fairly reasonable price considering how many pages they run to. The book was published about 2 years before Godowsky came out of copyright in Europe, rather craftily.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

In a single volume!!!!

I hope the binding is good.

When i bought mine 10 years ago from Foyles, they were in 5 volumes and £30 each.

Pretty much a waste of money as i gave up after about half an hour (as would most pianists).

OK, admittedly I borrowed a copy from the Westminster Library when I was a student rather than actually bought one (which I could not have done in those days anyway, as they were, I think, out of print at the time) but, even though I stood far less than a hope in hell's chance of being able actually to play any of these pieces, I did not consider that as much as a single second of the dozens of hours that I spent in college practice rooms struggling through them was in any sense wasted and I learnt much from them - terrific works, of seminal importance in the history of piano writing and at the same time a series of truly wonderful tributes to and commentaries on the études of Chopin.

Best,

Alistair
