Notes of a Pianist
Louis Moreau Gottschalk Manufacturer: Princeton University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0691127166 |
Book Description
Notes of a Pianist chronicles the life of one of the most remarkable musical minds of the American experience, the great nineteenth-century New Orleans-born composer and pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869). An important cultural and historical work, the book recounts Gottschalk's experiences as he traveled and performed throughout the last decade of his life.
Born to an English-Jewish father and a Haitian mother, Gottschalk is remembered as one of the great New Orleans musicians and composers, his music a combination of the classical tradition in which he was trained, and the New Orleans tradition into which he was born. His art form took him far outside the boundaries of Louisiana, however. While still a child, he studied piano in Paris and gave a concert at the Salle Pleyel, after which Frédéric Chopin is said to have remarked: "Give me your hand, my child; I predict that you will become the king of pianists." Gottschalk returned to the United States in 1853, and later lived in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Panama, and South America, during which time he kept-sometimes sporadically, sometimes daily--the notebooks that formed the basis of Notes of a Pianist.
Published for the first time in 1881, the book continues to resonate with American cultural and musical life. Notes of a Pianist demonstrates Gottschalk's importance not only as a reporter of the musical life and tastes of Americans during the Civil War, but also as a forefather of Louisiana's rich musical culture.

Bamboula!: The Life and Times of Louis Moreau Gottschalk
S. Frederick Starr Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0195072375 |
Book Description
Louis Moreau Gottschalk was an American original. A spellbinding piano virtuoso, he was America's first internationally recognized composer, whose "classical" works received accolades from Hector Berlioz and Victor Hugo, and whose arch-romantic melodies became for Americans the standard expressions of common emotions. Perhaps most important, his immensely popular Louisiana and Caribbean pieces--such as Danza, Pasquinade, or Bamboula--anticipated ragtime by fifty years. Indeed, the colorful and exotic textures of Gottschalk's music establish him at the head of what is today the mainstream of popular American culture. In Bamboula!, S. Frederick Starr presents an authoritatively researched, engagingly written biography of America's first authentic musical voice. Starr paints for us a striking portrait of Gottschalk's childhood in 1830s New Orleans, a city madly devoted to music, where opera companies, music halls, fiddlers and banjo-pickers, church choirs, and Army bands all contributed to what Starr calls "the most stunning manifestation of Jacksonian democracy in the realm of culture to be found anywhere in America." We meet Gottschalk's African-American nurse Sally, who regaled him with the creole songs, legends, and lore of her native Haiti, which would inform some of his finest music. We travel with Gottschalk to Paris, where he was a sensation, playing in fashionable salons for the likes of Lamartine, Gautier, and Dumas; and we join his flight from the Revolution of 1848 to a town north of Paris, where he composed his first great works--Bamboula, La Savane, Le Bananier, and Le Mancenillier--all published over the name "Gottschalk of Louisiana." Starr describes Gottschalk's successful return to New York City in the early 1850s, where he enjoyed a degree of popularity never before accorded to an American performer or composer, becoming our first homegrown concert idol. But Starr also examines the life-long struggle between the Catholic Gottschalk and earnest Protestant champions of "serious" music, a battle that pitted the austere values of northern Europe against the brighter sensibilities of Paris, Louisiana, and the West Indies. Based on extensive research, including hundreds of letters written by Gottschalk (in French, Spanish, and English) which are used here for the first time, Bamboula! illuminates an exotic but tragic life, as well as one of the most democratic phases of American cultural life, a world of bustling impresarios and America's first bohemian circle. A major biography in every sense, it will help reestablish Gottschalk's place in American musical history.Customer Reviews:
Fine work, couple of negatives.......2003-11-29
Bamboozelled!.......2000-02-16
1. The constant stretch to EXPLAIN everything (his father's family's roots came via Germany and England - THEREFORE, LMG never played there).
2. A great deal of FACT is "debunked" in this effort. For instance, one instance, he says Congo Square never held slave dances during Gottschalk's time. Well, Benjamin Latrobe visited in 1819 and specifically sought out this attraction (for it was an attraction even then), he even goes to great length to describe the instruments, the drumming, dancing, singing and "savagry" (see "Louisiana Sojourns" and "Congo Square in New Orleans").
Let us not lose history in an effort to explain. Use all the facts, not just those which serve your purpose.
Unfortunately - I now do not believe every conclusion and "fact" in the entire 450+ page tome!
This is very unfortunate. I loved Starr's "Southern Comfort" and use it often. My advice is unless you have years to sort out all the half-truths here, you should skip Bamboula!

The FIrst American Composer.......2000-03-21
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!

Israeli Pacifist: The Life of Joseph Abileah
Anthony B. Bing Manufacturer: Diane Pub Co ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0756754542 |
Product Description
For more than 50 years, Joseph Abileah, a violinist from Haifa, has worked for reconciliation between Arabs & Jews. An ordinary man made extraordinary by his unwavering commitment to nonviolent social change, he shows what is possible when antagonists in conflicts are not regarded as inhuman monsters but as potentially good people who are held hostage to a world view & political structure that have made brutal actions almost unbearable. This life of an Israeli pacifist is also a study of an alternative history of Israel, one that reflects the tensions between spiritual & political Zionism. Treats the themes of bi-nat., confederation, & pacifism in the Middle East. Photos.Books:
