Fitzhugh Lee Andrews (February 12, 1873 – March 10, 1961) was an American teacher, composer and performer of both classical and popular works for the piano.
The Great Depression, and the advent of radio, the phonograph and motion pictures eventually eclipsed parlour music as the preferred after-dinner entertainment.
To augment his income from music lessons he offered, Fitzhugh became a part-time farmer.
Some of Fitzhugh's piano compositions are reminiscent of vocal music, lending the score an operatic flair.
Tricky passagework and effective rapid runs lend the compositions a quality that is not unlike Liszt transcriptions – at least outwardly.
