An eminent member the French musical establishment during the 1870s and 1880s,
LOUIS THÉODORE GOUVY wrote a large amount of piano music, much of it for
four hands. The three Sonatas written in the 1860s reveal his considerable
technical command as well as a

flowing elegance, some of it reminiscent of Schubert and Schumann.
