Anthology of Early American Keyboard Music, 1787–1830

These thirty-six keyboard compositions are by twenty-four composers including William Brown, Benjamin Carr, James Hewitt, Rayner Taylor, Charles Gilbert, Arthur Clifton, Anthony Philip Heinrich, Oliver Shaw, and others. Edited anew from the original editions or manuscripts, this anthology offers an overview of the remarkably large production in early America of sonatas, rondos, medleys, variation-sets, marches and dances, and programmatic pieces.
