Victor-Eugene McCarty

Victor-Eugene McCarty (also Macarty, McCarthy or Macarthy, born between 1817 and 1823), [Kein, pg. 83; Kein notes that most researchers claim a specific year for McCarty's birth, but that it can not be determined conclusively.] a Louisiana Creole, was one of the first of several prominent free black composers in New Orleans, best-known for publishing "Fleurs de salon: 2 Favorite Polkas" in 1854.cite book|title=The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music|chapter=Concert Music|last=Wright|first=Jacqueline R. B.|pages=603-613] He had earlier in the 1840s become among the first black men to study music abroad, at the Paris Conservatory. [Southern, pg. 252]

McCarty did not publish as widely as many of his fellow Creole composers of the era, but he was well-known for performing and organizing other musicians, and playing a role in Reconstruction-era politics. [Kein, pg. 83]
