[From Publisher] The piano music of Benjamin Carr, Arthur Foote, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, and their lesser-known contemporaries will now become more accessible to us because of this bibliography This work lists compositions under five basic categories: solo; piano one-hand; piano four-hands; two pianos; and piano and orchestra. Each category is arranged alphabetically by composer, with individual works listed under each composer. The composer's full name and dates are given, as well as the title of the work, opus number, location (in printed collections, in libraries) and/or publisher, and an occasional brief annotation. At the end, there are lists of music publishers, of library sources, and of anthologies and reprint editions, each with abbreviations. An extensive Composer Biography-Index, useful in itself, serves both as source of biographical information and as a composer index to the main part of the book.
