Louis Ferdinand Gottschalk (1864 – 1934) was an American composer and conductor born in St. Louis, Missouri. The son of a Missouri governor, also named Louis, he studied music in Stuttgart, Germany.
Louis Moreau Gottschalk was his great-uncle. This particular piece is from the 1913 scrapped musical The Patchwork Girl of Oz.

Lovely piece, enjoyed your performance of it. Thanks.

Is anyone in possession of music by Prof Leon Iltis (1893-1985), chair of music department at University of Wisconsin, Madison c.1963 ?

I found him through this recent recording of a charming little piece "In a Rocking Chair" (1922)


It may have been a pedagogical piece part of THE ILTIS PIANO BOOKS FOR CLASS & INDIVIDUAL BY LEON L ILTIS WITH ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY KATE SEREDY,1929,CARL FISCHER

I've emailed the pianist on Soundcloud as well.

Discovered via YouTube, a series of short piano works by the Canadian composer, pianist and organist AUGUSTE DESCARRIES (1896-1958); also a music professor in Montreal.

There's a society to support his work: https://www.associationaugustedescarries.com/ who have printed music for sale, but there is a larger set upon IMSLP (under Creative Commons license): https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Descarries,_Auguste

(His Aubade similarly has a score video,but is not currently on IMSLP)

Interesting. Thank you Bingo.

Great composer. The Piano Sonata is amazing, especially the Toccata.
