Notes:
52 p., Gottschalk traveled extensively. A sojourn in Cuba during 1854 was the beginning of a series of trips to Central and South America. He also traveled to Puerto Rico after his Havana debut and at the start of his Caribbean period. Taken with the music he heard on the island, he composed a work entitled Souvenir de Porto Rico; Marche des gibaros, Op. 31 (RO250).
