Piano Music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk. 26 Complete Pieces from Original Editions

Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869): Música para piano. Veintiséis piezas completas en versiones originales.

Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-l869) is still rememberec. as one of the most interesting early American composers, a composer whose work is still performed and enjoyed. This collection of Gottschalk's major piano music shows the wide range of his talent from the "wild, languishing" derivations on Negro and Creole folk melodies to his elegant and moving concert and salon compositions.
This book has been especially designed as a playing edition-the noteheads are large and easily readable at the piano, and the margins and spaces between staves are adequate for written notes, fingerings and turnovers. It is also most useful for analysis.
This Dover edition, first published in 1973, consists of sheet music from the collections of William Lloyd Keepers, the New York Public Library, and the Eastman School of Music.

Introduced and edited by Richard Jackson.
