Description
A piano version of the march Sousa drew from his own operetta El Capitan, portraying the swaggering title character. The contrast between its bold main theme and lighter middle section is the highlight, while the dense note count packed into under two minutes calls for advanced technique to maintain tempo through frequent hand leaps.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
