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.

To Anacreon in Heaven is a song composed by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a club of amateur musicians in London in the 18th century. The song praises Anacreon, a Greek poet who celebrated love and wine. The tune was later used by Francis Scott Key to write the Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics of the song are attributed to Ralph Tomlinson.

アメリカの国歌がただ綺麗なんですけど、全く尊厳がありません。しかし、日本に関しては、日本の国歌が日本国の美しさを代表してます。かく音符が全部の日本人の誇りをたっぷり入っております。

Oh, what happenstance. I saw you perform in Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown. It's nice to hear you on a less...challenging instrument. Lol! And with a fine and rarely played Godowsky arrangement at that.

I get teary eyed whenever i hear patriotic songs. I love this country, it gave me the opportunity to taste liberty, the constitution, the american resolve etc. But, Rome got ruined not beaten by an outside enemy but inside. The looters, destroying statues, ###############

There is nothing more patriotic than the destruction of confederate statues. Robert E. Lee's vandalized statue with Harriert Tubmans image projected onto it was a work of art. Try being more concerned about the state violence that led to the protests rather than the response it invoked.

this arrangement is so contemplative it brings tears to my eyes; American greatness is only possible through God's blessings but still, it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to become what it is today. Seeing how the leftist ideals (which are wrong) tearing it apart just hurts me to the core. Surely we are entering the new Dark ages should America, God forbid, falls #godblessyou #godblessamerica

America fell decades ago. What exists is an ugly husk that cannot exist without international terrorism to fuel bloated industries and impede upon the freedom's of others to prop up gluttonous and hateful capitalist politicians. There's nothing American about it, it's a mockery of American ideals
