Louis Moreau
Gottschalk was born in New Orleans.
Distinguishing himself as a virtuoso and originator of a unique style of Creole
music, he enthralled his European listeners with the novel and exotic sound of
his early compositions. He gained recognition
in Europe
prior to the start of his career in the United
States.
Souvenir de Porto Rico
is a "patrol" march based on the repetition of material, building to a climax,
and receding into sunset. Michelle Kim
