Book Reviews of Piano Music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk: 26 Complete Pieces from Original Editions

Book Review: The FIrst American Composer
Summary: 5 Stars

Louis Moreau Gottschalk was probably the first American Pop Star ! In the 1850's women swooned. If it were permissal to hurl their nickers on stage they would have done do! The story goes that he was the musical Brad Pitt of the age.

This is a music book for pianists! It contains a wealth of information about this pop star in the form of notes to the music as well as the music itself (for those who play the piano).

Dover Publications are often more user friendly than some of the others. This publication contains anecdotes and copies of the original binder covers from some of the music books first published.

For pianists this is a delightful and well presented edition of an important part of American history.

There are a number of beautifully played CD's available. Get the book and read along with the CD. Now that is something you never thought of!
