Favorite Tarantella by Chopin

on: February 22, 2015, 06:33:48 AM

As you all know Chopin composed a tarantella for piano. Which one is your favorite?

As for me, i enjoy the one by Liszt. Good stuff.

Godowsky third Study on Chopin's Etude Op 10 No 5. All the advantages of being by Chopin (unlike the Liszt

) but without the handicaps.

Godowsky's 10/5 tarantella is horrific. Don't let the 8th notes fool you.
The Rossini/Liszt is usually where I go in a Tarantella mood.
