Astrologers call it the Saturn Return, which arrives at about age 30. At that age, Schumann, Chopin and Brahms had miracle years in which they wrote some of their best material. In 1859, Louis Moreau Gottschalk turned 30, and it was the year of some of his best piano material and his first symphony. It started with a caprice based on Stephen Foster’s “My Old Kentucky Home”.

Gottshalk: “Columbia”

Another great dance tune to get the feet tapping.

”Hurrah Galop”

A scintillating little waltz for maidens and – ahem! – non-maidens alike.

”The Maiden’s Blush”

A cute little Cuban tango.

”Creole Eyes”

A delightful polka.

”Orfa”

Although described as a polka, it is closer to a waltz.

”Pensive”

A caprice using mazurka rhythm and rondo format.

”Polonia”

This sounds a bit like Scott Joplin, who came along four decades later. You can imagine this being played in saloons all across North and South America.

”Reponds-moi”

Another gem from his days in Cuba.

”Souvenir of Havana”

Two short polkas, only recently discovered.

Polka in B-flat

Polka in A-flat

Watch his hands on this nocturne, and you’ll see how difficult it really is.

”La chute des feuilles”

A short caprice in a minor key.

”O ma charmante, espargnez-moi”

Somewhere between Chopin and Joplin.

”Suis-moi”

Do you have “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose” by Jimmy Dickens?
