Steven Mayer presents some of Louis Moreau Gottschalk's finest pieces on this solo piano recording which displays the composer's considerable harmonic ingenuity. Gottschalk was the first important American composer to fuse European classical piano music with American cultural influences, including folk music and Latin American dances. Although still revered for his anticipation of elements of ragtime and Harlem stride piano, he owed his greatest musical debt to Chopin. This collection of memorable and catchy tunes includes the world premiere of Mayer’s piano arrangement of La nuit des tropiques.
