Chopin praised the young American himself in person after a recital.. this man was very expressive and talented and for the genre unusually an American .
This piece cannot be played any better - this is as close to perfection as you can get. Clearly one of the best performances of a work by Gottschalk I've ever heard over the past 45 years. Bravo Mr. Davis!
@@joddle23 oh, now I am doing much better, I was like at the end of sixth grade when I posted that comment, I am now in highschool. finished Liszt legend no.2 (great piece, give it a listen)
I've just found the tune "Pasa Calle" by Jaime Bosch, which is even more Malaguena-esque. Can't find any information on when exactly it was published, but Bosch would have been 26 when this Gottschalk piece was published. Possible it predates this?
@@clay_geo it is quite possible. I had always thought the tune was a folk song, but I was confused to see the title of Paco De Lucia's Malaguñas: "Malgueñas de Lecuona"
@@isaiahburton4478 the Malagueña de Lecuona is specifically the version which was adapted for the Suite Andalucía - it is a folk/traditional style which we also see in Canarias (having come from the fandango andaluz and traditional malagueña introduced by the settlers from Andalucía). An example being very clearly represented in the Cantos Canarios de Teobaldo Power or more recently parts of La Cantata del Mencey Loco (Los Sabandeños). I am less sure with regards to the origins in Andalucía though evidently it predates the arrival to Canarias in the 1400s.
@@ciudad-del-mar Fascinating! Now, from what I understand, the theme presented in the opening of Gottshalk's piece is indeed an old folk song which is a product of traditional style (which Lucuona incorperated to compose his Malagueña from Suite Andalucía. Is this correct?
Yes, it was a great performance, but from the timbre of the piano you can hear that this instrument was prepared with less action. It is painfully obvious when listening for dynamic contrast. Still, it does not take away from the state of the recording.
@@NFStopsnuf that's an interesting insight, thank you for sharing! i am guessing that this tempo is nearly impossible for a non-concert pianist to even approach on a piano with a heavier action then
I have the same score and that question was on my mind too. I figured it out. The score uses "x" for the thumb and numbers 1-4 for the other fingers. Strange isn't it?

People often compare him to Chopin, and I agree there is a lot of influence, but in this one, I hear a bit of Lizst.
That's what I thought. "if Liszt had been American..."
This is surely where "Malaguena" comes from. Especially 00:19-00:41
Malagueña comes from Málaga, as well as the popular tune Gottschalk collected here.

Could someone please tell me what do those times-like crosses above the notes mean?(it looks like this: × ) Thanks :)
I have the same score and that question was on my mind too. I figured it out. The score uses "x" for the thumb and numbers 1-4 for the other fingers. Strange isn't it?
Oh. Thank you really much :)
@@mstalcup It's just like violin fingering where you got 0 for open string and 1-4 for 2nd-5th fingers
My piano teacher says the x means you have to use thumb and also you have to play staccato.

Beautiful piece! Sounds impossible to play.
how can I get this score sheet?
IMSLP
Sounds similar to Paganini/Liszt's LaCampanella
Who is the performer?
Ivan Davis. He passed away like 2 years ago.
Where i hear this piece before?
probably malaguena by lecuona
It reminded me of "La boda de Luis Alonso" by Gerónimo Giménez. You can hear it at 1:53 of this rendition:

The right-hand look so tiring.
You should really give credit to the performer here :(
If I knew who the performer was, I would have, as you can see on my many thousands of other videos.
@@GNGianopoulos it's Ivan Davis
