Pittsburgh Farewell Recital, Levy Hall, June 19, 2017
Godowsky's virtuoso concert arrangement of the National Anthem opened the concert. This piece started as the ending of 'Requiem (1914-1918)' a threnody for the dead of World War I. The short Requiem is from a collection called Triakontameron, thirty pieces in triple meter. Originally only a setting of the final verse ('O say does that star-spangled...'), he later set the entire anthem.
