CAPSULE SUMMARY:  The Chopin/Godowsky Etudes were first issued as single CDs and then later in a deluxe slip case box edition with new catalog number
So far only the single CDs have been examined thoroughly.  For those:
17 of the Chopin/Godowsky Etudes come from Carlo Grante's CD, 7 are taken from Hamelin's CD, and 3 come from Hobson's CD.
20 of the 27 tracks have been sped up to some degree, but track 4 sets a new record having been sped up by just over 20%.
Listening to the Hobson original of track 4 and the sped up Hatto version back to back is startling.
A small excerpt of each can be heard by clicking on the above links.  For best effect the original Hobson should be heard first.
