unusual facts about Godowsky


Róża Etkin-Moszkowska

She developed a very large repertoire, including the late sonatas of Beethoven, the Rachmaninov concerti, the Goldberg Variations, Prokofiev's and Karol Szymanowski's works and Godowsky's arrangements of the Chopin Waltzes.


David Saperton

Saperton married Godowsky’s daughter, Vanita, sister of silent movie star Dagmar Godowsky, in 1924 and began to immerse in the study of his father-in-law’s difficult piano works including all the transcriptions.

Together with the complete Chopin Etudes and other Godowsky works this recording has been reissued by Video Artists International.

Konstantin Scherbakov

Scherbakov has had a successful recording career for Naxos Records; among his CDs on that label are recordings of all Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos, the nine Beethoven symphonies (as transcribed for the piano by Liszt), and music by Godowsky, Medtner, Respighi, Shostakovich, and Lyapunov.
