   Extractions: Louis Moreau Gottschalk became the first well-known American concert pianist and the first American composer to be widely recognized in Europe. He was born to a Jewish businessman from London and a white Creole Haitian in 1829 in what is now the French Quarter of New Orleans, where he was influenced at an early age by Afro-Caribbean melodies and rhythms. As a young prodigy at the piano, Gottschalk made his musical debut at the old St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans when he was only 11. Then, in 1842, his parents took him to Europe for further study of the piano, and although he was rejected by the Paris Conservatory, he was accepted as a pupil by a succession of prominent piano tutors, including Charles Hallé (1819-1895), later the founder of the Hallé Orchestra in England. Gottschalk soon attracted favorable notice from Chopin and Liszt - the latter calling him "the Alcibiades of the piano" - and commenced a promising career as a concert artist in Europe. However, his own early compositions, based largely on Creole material, were less successful on the Continent, and perhaps for this reason, he returned to the United States in 1853 to make his living as a barnstorming concert pianist, touring extensively in the United States, Canada, and Cuba with a repertoire that consisted largely of his own pieces. As a result of his extensive concertizing, exhibitionism, and flamboyant lifestyle, Gottschalk had become a major figure on the American musical scene by the early 1860s. He remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War, freed three slaves he had inherited, and wrote an occasional piece for piano, "The Union," based on patriotic airs. Unfortunately, his growing status as a musical idol of "rock-star" proportions eventually led to the demise of his career in the United States. In 1865, he became enmeshed in an amorous liaison with a young female seminarian in California and was forced to flee the country to avoid prosecution.

   Extractions: Louis Moreau Gottschalk was the first American composer, and well regarded pianist, to combine classical and popular music and in the process include syncopation that anticipated the music of ragtime a half century later. He composed and performed his music in the 1850's and during and immediately following the Civic War. Two of his most popular compositions, Bamboula and Pasquinade are regularly performed by ragtime and classical pianists at concerts and festivals around the world and his symphonies and piano concerts are available on CDs. Gottschalk was also one of the most effective American good-will ambassadors to Central and South America in the 1850-60s. From infancy. Louis showed remarkable musical gifts, able to repeat on the piano airs from the Rossini operas that were regularly performed at the French Opera House in New Orleans. As a child he heard Spanish and French gavottes and quadrilles at the French Opera House in New Orleans. As a child he also heard music of the African slaves and the Latin music of the Caribbean islands and South America. All these melodies were absorbed by the young Gottschalk.

    Extractions: News alert: Louis Moreau Gottschalk's legendary Notes of a Pianist are finally back in print (Princeton University Press, 2006) Welcome to www.LouisMoreauGottschalk.com This website is dedicated to the American composer and pianist-virtuoso Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869). In recent years, there has been a steady growth of interest in Gottschalk´s music, and it is hoped that this website will help promote his music as well as provide information about his rather turbulent career. Traditionally, Gottschalk is remembered as a virtuoso, as well as a prolific composer of popular (and, so it is said, quite often rather sentimental) music. While there may be some truth in this statement, it is our belief that there is more to Gottschalk and his music than just that. As one of his biographers has put it, Gottschalk was “both an arch-romantic and a rationalist, a sentimentalist and a pragmatist, at once America´s first regionalist composer, its first multiculturalist, and its first true nationalist.” Gottschalk was also the first and, one might well argue, possibly the last pan-American composer and artist. Not only did he travel frequently outside the United States, as did, by necessity, most virtuoso pianists at the time; he also lived in South America and the Caribbean for extended periods of time, incorporating, without prejudice but with critical judgment, many local influences and musical traditions. He also was politically outspoken on issues such as slavery and the Civil War, and while a true American patriot, he did not spare his countrymen acrimonious criticism whenever he deemed it appropriate.

    Extractions: Country: USA Detailed Information about I would like to thank Jillian M. Gent for this contribution to The Classical Music Pages Introduction (born New Orleans 8 May 1929; died Tijuca, Brazil, 18 December 1869) Gottschalk was born in New Orleans in 1829 in a house that still stands at the southwest corner of Esplanade and Royal streets. From early in his childhood, he was exposed to the French and African-tinged Caribbean folk music that characterized the music of the Creoles. It was this bombastic music that left the deepest impression on Gottschalk, later permeating his works and eventually spurring him on to international fame. The musical climate of New Orleans in the 1830s is revealed in the childhood of Gottschalk. Creoles made up about 50 percent of the city at that time, with the majority of the population residing in what was called Old New Orleans, east of Canal. Gottschalk, too, was of Creole descent and was raised primarily by his grandmother and his African-American nurse, both natives of the island of Saint-Dominique. Certainly Creole melodies were a natural part of the Gottschalk household. In Gottschalk’s 1958 biography, Vernon Loggins, paints a far more romantic picture of the inspiration behind the Creole melodies of Gottschalk’s music. Loggins gives a vivid description of the three story, vine-covered home on Rampart where the Gottschalks resided from 1831-1833. Loggins claims that young Gottschalk would stand on the third floor gallery and listen to the sounds of the street floating on the sultry city breeze. Music filled the streets of New Orleans then, as it still does today, and flowed among the houses which remained open to the street most of the year.
