Page "Leopold Godowsky" Paragraph 25

Godowsky's phenomenally difficult transcriptions and impeccable technique prompted some critics to describe him as " a pianist for pianists ", as James Huneker has done.

Among Godowsky's admirers were such distinguished pianists as Vladimir de Pachmann and Sergei Rachmaninoff, who, according to Godowsky's daughter Dagmar, idolized her father's music and performances.
