This is a delightful early cakewalk which is well worth a listen. I've given it the full banjo treatment and it makes for a very good solo and is not too much of a challenge to play. I could find no information about the composer nor could I find any other music published by him. As it's so well written, it could possibly have been composed by one of the popular composers of the day using a pseudonym. Maybe someone has some further information? The score and midi are in the library...Steve.
