Leopold Godowsky was born
Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About this piece
This piece is the second movement of a short suite called "The Netherland Suite". All three pieces are one-page long and with charming melodies, composed with pedagogical intent.
The main challenge here is to develop the agility of playing block chords with a staccato touch.
Is this your next piece?
This might be a good next choice if you're a beginner polishing your technique.
