FAMOUS SONGS
1804—but there are forty-eight stanzas, so I refrain from quoting. Indeed, to go into the subject fully a volume would be required to be written.
Though, as I have already stated, America has not sent any musical genius into the world yet, she has at least given birth to one composer and pianist of considerable merit. I refer to Louis Moreau Gottschalk, bom at New Orleans, May 8th, 1829. His melodies were frequently brilliant, though inclined to sentimentalism and were almost invariably Spanish in tone and expression. He died at Rio de Janeiro, December 18th, 1869. |
