Cakewalks, Two-Steps and Trots for Solo Piano - David A Jasen

These syncopated dance pieces published between 1805 and 1913 have the rhythmic appeal and vitality of piano rags with the added attraction of being easier to play. Noted popular music authority David A. Jasen has selected some of the best cakewalks, two-steps, trots, and glides of this lively era, including these favorites by Eubie Blake, Kerry Mills, Harry Von Tilzer, and other masters:
At a Georgia Campmeeting, Kerry Mills

and 19 more great keyboard frolics.
This is good-time music that's as much fun to play today as it was in its heyday. Reproduced directly from rare sheet music (including the original covers), these classics of the dance-craze era will be welcomed by pop piano players students, amateurs, and professionals alike.
