Description
A piano transcription of The Gladiator, one of Sousa's early marches. Its sturdy dotted rhythms and valiant themes evoke the ancient combatant of the title, foreshadowing the style of his later, more famous marches. At just over three minutes and dense with notes, it demands a powerful touch and the stamina to hold a steady tempo throughout.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
