Józef Hofmann - 4 Charakterskizzen Op. 40 (audio + sheet music)

Godowsky is the dedicatee of Hofmann’s four highly contrasted Charakterskizzen, Op. 40,
published in 1908. The contemplative first sketch, Vision, is followed by a syncopated and
rather chromatic movement entitled Jadis. The rippling third movement, Nenien, is wistful
in character and is periodically interrupted by a mysterious, grumbling little figure in the
bass. The set is rounded off with a sketch called Kaleidoscop, notable for its decidedly
Russian flavour. As its name suggests, this presto movement is bright and colourful.

No.4 reminds me of Rachmaninoff.

[@mikedaniels3009]

This is the result when a genius piano prodigy "performer" w/o the genius for composition à la eg Rach tries to "compose" and refuses to embrace the genius of nascent jazz, ragtime & piano novelty. Proof of the pudding:
