Music
The most important compositions of Godowsky are:
- 53 Studies based upon the 26 Etudes of Chopin
- Passacaglia (upon a theme by Schubert)
- Java Suite, in 4 parts
- Sonata in e minor
- Walzermasken (24 tone fantasias)
- Renaissance (19 Free transcriptions of old masterpices)
- Three Concert paraphrases on the works of von Weber
- 6 concert Arrangements of Chopin waltzes
- 12 freely transcribed songs by Franz Schubert
- 4 Poems for the piano
- 6 sonatas and suites for violin and cello by Bach freely transcribed for the piano
- Triakontameron: 30 modds and scenes in triple measure (includes the famous "Alt-Wein")
All the above for piano solo.
In addition:
- 3 suites (12 pieces)
- 7 ancient dances
- 7 modern dances
- 20 miscellaneous minatures
for piano four hands.
As far as I know, almost all these works are no longer commercially available except the studies on the Chopin etudes.

After decades of neglect, Carl Fischer has finally published most of Godowsky’s piano music (http://www.carlfischer.com)
