One of only a few recordings of Leopold Godowsky's complete Triakontameron suite - a suite of 30 piano pieces each written in a day, is being issued by Centaur performed by Dainius Vaičekonis on 26 July.

(Wikipedia: "Triakontameron is a suite of 30 pieces in six volumes for piano composed from 1919 to 1920 by Leopold Godowsky; each was written in a single day, and all are written in three-four time. " - additionally, no.11, Alt-Wien, composed in Seattle 8 August 1919, is perhaps his most famous piece.)

Thanks, Eric. Just noting that this work is included in Scherbakov's big Godowsky set on Marco Polo - which I'm yet to listen to.
