Dance, march, and even early ragtime-like rhythms (before ragtime was
a thing) abound in this high-stepping work of
Gottschalk‘s, originally composed for piano when he was living in Rio de Janeiro in 1869. The subtitle, Caprice, refers to the playful character of the music, and the word “pasquinade” literally means “a lampoon.” PASQUINADE is part of Creative Spirit’s
IN-TOUCH-WITH-ONE-ANOTHER world music series and one of our many
GOTTSCHALK TRANSCRIPTIONS. For a three-movement suite including it along with Gottschalk’s
BAMBOULA and
LE BANANIER, see
CREOLE DANCES.
