Godowsky's first study, based off of Chopin Etude Op. 10 No. 1 "Waterfall".
The Studies on Chopin's Études are a set of 53 arrangements of Chopin's études by Leopold Godowsky, composed between 1894 and 1914. They are renowned for their technical difficulty.
In the words of Godowsky:
The fifty three studies based upon the twenty six Etudes of Chopin have manifold purposes. Their aim is to develop the mechanical technical and musical possibility of piano-forte playing, to expand the peculiarly adapted nature of the instrument to polyphonic, polyrhythmic and polynamic work, and to widen the range of its possibilities in tone coloring. the unusual mental and physical demands made upon the performer by the above mentioned work, must invariably lead to a much higher proficiency in the command of the instrument, while the composer for the piano will find a number of suggestions regarding the treatment of the instrument and its musical utterance in general. special attention must be drawn to the fact, that owing to innumerable contrapuntal devices, which frequently compass almost the whole range of the keyboard, the fingering and peddling are often of a revolutionary character, particularly in the 22 studies for the left hand alone. the preparatory exercises included in a number of the studies will be found helpful in developing a mechanical mastery over the piano forte by applying them to the original shopping studies as well as the to the above mentioned versions. the 53 studies are to be considered in an equal degree suitable for concert purposes and private study.
This is the first of the series, I hope you enjoy!!
