Leopold Mordkhelovich Godowsky Sr. (13 February 1870 – 21 November 1938) was a Lithuanian-born American virtuoso pianist, composer and teacher.

He was heralded among musical giants as the "Buddha of the Piano". Ferruccio Busoni claimed that he and Godowsky were "the only composers to have added anything of significance to keyboard writing since Franz Liszt." As a composer, Godowsky is best known for his '' Java Suite'', '' Triakontameron'', ''Passacaglia'' and ''Walzermasken'', alongside his transcriptions of works by other composers: best known work in the field is ''53 Studies on Chopin's Études'' (1894–1914).

Studies On Chopin's Études
The ''Studies on Chopin's Études'' are a set of 53 arrangements of Chopin's études by Leopold Godowsky, composed between 1894 and 1914. They are renowned for their technical difficulty: critic Harold C. Schonberg called them "the most impossibly difficult things ever written for the piano." Several of the studies (for example, the study " Ignis Fatuus" on Chopin's Étude in A minor, Op. 10, No. 2) put the original right-hand part into the left hand; several others are for the left hand alone (for example, the study on the "Revolutionary" Étude, transposed to C minor). Two of the studies even combine two études; the better known of these, called "Badinage," combines both the G (the "Black Key" Étude of Op. 10 and the "Butterfly" étude of Op. 25). The studies The number of studies is often given as 54, with Op. 25, No. 2 having one study written as a considerably different ossia of another; a similar ossia also exists for one of the studies on Op. 25, No. 3, so the tota ...
