American pianist and composer Earld Wild died last Saturday in his home in Palm Spring, California, USA. Wild was a pianist in the great Romantic tradition. The news was announced by his companion Michael Rolland Davis.
Although Earl Wild is mainly known as a pianist, he also wrote some compositions of his own. Among these are the “Sonata 2000”, the “Easter oratorio”, “Revelations” (1962), the “The Turquoise Horse” (1976, for choir), and the “Doo-Dah Variations” (on a theme by Stephen Foster, 1992, for piano and orchestra).
