Louis Moreau Gottschalk is a renowned American composer who helped define an American musical style by mixing Cuban, Creole, and other Latin American works into European-style music.

The Last Hope tests the player: one hand keeps a faster figure while the other moves at a medium-to-slower pace.

This sheet music is the “Beaux Arts Edition” (stated on the cover). It also includes a preface about the song and composer.

Approx. 13-1/2" × 10" with 9 pages (including front and back cover). The cover art is by John Frew. 

Condition: Fair but presentable for its age — spine mostly split, holding with a ~2" bridge; other blemishes are mainly at the edges (small tears, light staining, ruffles, and scattered creases).
