Composed by Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Arranged by Matthew Nunes. 19th Century,Classical,Folk,Historic,Spiritual. 42 pages. Matthew Nunes Music #105704. Published by Matthew Nunes Music (A0.489191).Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829 – 1869) was an American virtuoso pianist known around the world for his performances as well as his signature work, The Banjo (1855). This piece aims to replicate the characteristics of a banjo but on an unaltered piano. One of the many difficulties of performing this work on piano is the repetition of notes, a task much more comfortable for the strumming of a banjo player. The Banjo also incorporates a reference to the popular song Camptown Races by Stephen Foster, a highly regarded composer of the time. For this arrangement I followed many of Gottschalk’s own articulation, style, or dynamic choices. I took liberty with a few articulation choices, favoring ones more suitable for the tuba and euphonium. Dynamic variances are meant to be extreme and sudden but performers are encouraged to use them only as guidelines for their own interpretations.
