American composer and virtuoso pianist (1829–1869), born as the son of a Jewish businessman, Gottschalk is today considered one of the first figures in American music to attain an international reputation as a composer. Gottschalk spent most of his life abroad and died in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at age 40.
