Description

Albert Lavignac was born in Paris. He was mainly a music scholar but also composed some music. This piece has been described as follows: "The circus piece Galop-Marche a 8 mains sur un seul piano by Albert Lavignac (1846-1916) has two pairs of four hands –Frank Braley, Francois-Joel Thiollier, Alexei Volodin, and Cyprien Katsaris — in a flurry of notes in wild leaps and blazing runs a la Gottschalk and Offenbach, much to the audience’s delight." - John Sunier
