Extractions: Issue No.537 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Current issue Previous issue Site map David Blake compares ghosts Piano recital; Yasser Mokhtar; Small Hall: Cairo Opera House, 29 May The name is Yasser Mokhtar, though at times he appears to be joined to another person behind the music, to Godowsky, Leopold. Leo the Lion he was called. The effect of the young lion, Mokhtar, on music and audience is much like that of the old one. Mokhtar is a mover and goer. He comes here, seldom but when he does the Small Hall is shattered. A lot of rockery as well as music gets broken. But Mokhtar is a polite feline, unlike some pianists who are "wild." He prefers order and a carefully composed reticence to chopping and flaying. He has a sense of intimacy in spite of the excitement he projects. The question might be asked of him, as it was once asked of another lion, Percy Grainger: "Do you use your feet too?" When hands never look numerous enough what's left but the feet? Mokhtar opened the recital with the piano sonata of Mona Ghoneim. Like most of her music it is a thing of contrasts flat, calm, long-noted surfaces, then waves, darkly huge and rough, suddenly dipping into calm bays of shelter and peace. The entire work is open to many different approaches. Mokhtar had an answer to all of them. Craggy cliffs, the roaring storm and sudden calm always found him ready for change. Ghoneim provides an almost Lisztian work-out for the player.

Transcriptions of Johann Sebastian Bach's music were far more prevalent during the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries than they are today, in no small part due to the desire to enjoy works that otherwise could be only rarely heard. The rapid rise in the popularity of recordings during the twentieth century from 78 rpm to compact discs saw a proportional diminution of the absolute need to transcribe for the piano music written for other instruments, no more so than in our current age when the wide availability of recordings has turned one's iPod into an...

A Note To The Text About Godowski, By V.Voskobojnikov More detailed opinions by Neuhaus about godowsky can be read in his book The art of piano while his opinions about the godowsky as a pianist were fully http://www.neuhaus.it/english/godovosko.html
Extractions: visitors since October, 16th, 2000 "An example about how much some Russian composer greatly valued Godowsky, can be considered the Rachmaninoff’s "Polka", which is dedicated to him. This composition exactly reproduces the way of thinking and the style of Godowsky's transcriptions. I used to make a joke about this matter, answering to people which was asking me about what Godowsky transcription I liked more: 'The Rachmaninoff Polka, so much is similar …'. " Neuhaus was particularly puzzled about the transcriptions of the Chopin studies that Godowsky made. They are astonishingly difficult, so that only a pianist of the caliber of Godowsky could afford them. Neuhaus believed they were quite unuseful. Also the collection "Renaissance" make him quite doubtful. It collects some elaboration - in a modern fashion – of excerpts of ancient music. The Godowsky’s Sonata was long and prolix. There were plenty of themes, intricacies, imitations of Beethoven, Chopin, etc. The composer was aware of that, when he told Neuhaus during 1935: "Maybe I’m a incurable scribbler, and maybe for this reasons I normally write so much!"
