In 1862, Teresa Carreno moved with her family to New York City from their native home of Venezuela. The Federal War, a somewhat obscure Venezuelan civil war, was in it's 4th year and had already caused enough death and disease that Teresa's father decided to find a better place for her to live. At the time Teresa was only 9 years old, but had been extensively trained by her father, a pianist. Soon after their arrival she began performing at public and private concerts, doing so well that she soon caught the attention of the one and only Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Gottschalk didn't take students and was skeptical of prodigies, but upon hearing her play decided to take her as one anyway. His schedule was busy and he could only give her a few lessons, but she enjoyed them so much that she wrote this waltz for him while just 10 years old.
