Description:
Pasquinade (Caprice), Op. 59/RO 189 was composed for piano in the mid-1850s (c. 1855-1856) by Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869), the pioneering American pianist-composer whose works blend European virtuoso tradition with the rhythmic vitality of the Americas. Written during his extensive concert tours, the piece showcases Gottschalk's flair for brilliant, audience-pleasing piano music, characterized by sparkling passagework, syncopated rhythms, and light, playful character suggested by the title "Pasquinade," referring to a satirical or witty expression. This orchestration was completed by Thomas H. Rollinson. Instrumentation: 1.1.2.1: 2.2(Crnt).1.0: Perc(2): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set): CS (Pno-Cond) in set. Reprint edition.
