Description

Louis Moreau Gottschalk

Gifted pianist and composer (1829–1869) who was one of the first figures in American music to attain an international reputation. His colorful keyboard works, often inspired by the Creole music he heard in his Louisiana childhood, pioneered the use of ethnic source materials in American ‘classical’ music. Scarce original 2.25 x 4 full-length carte-de-visite photo by Case and Getchell of Boston, signed on the reverse in black ink, “With regard, L. M. Gottschalk.” In fine condition, with some light creasing to lower right corner and some mild toning to reverse. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
