    Leopold Godowsky's Signature
                     (1870-1938)

Pianist, 
writer and lecturer Frank Cooper

 

"No lapidary ever practiced his craft with more finesse than did Leopold Godowsky the art of music. With fastidious precision Godowsky set to paper a great series of original works, transcriptions and paraphrases. To look at them is to be hypnotized by their complex perfection; to hear them is to experience romantic pianism at its outer limits."  - Frank Cooper
