Work Overview
Leopold Godowsky's Passacaglia is a virtuosic work for solo piano, written in 1928 as a tribute to Franz Schubert on the 100th anniversary of his death. The passacaglia theme is the first eight bars of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony, after which follows 44 variations, cadenza and fugue. My transcription requires an orchestra of virtuosic players!
