Work Overview
In 1925 Leopold Godowsky completed a set of twelve pieces for solo piano inspired by Javanese tradional music. Five of the pieces seemed suitable for orchestration. This suite makes up a beautiful showpiece for symphony orchestra, alternatively energetic, mysterious, amusing, gentle, touching or joyful.
