Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/scores/17606296?from=youtube_share

A novelty rag by violinist and later bandleader Harry Waiman, the second of two rags attributed to him. He was born in Russia in 1891 and died in Chicago in 1953. This score was "featured by Waiman at every performance" and was adapted to piano by J.R. Shannon. His first rag "The Waiman Rag" was "exactly as syncopated by Waiman, composed by J.R. Shannon". So these are scores based on violin performances by a then young Waiman and translated into a piano score by Shannon. They were both published by Grinnell Bros. in Detroit, this one in 1911.

Original score source was from the Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection at Mississippi State University at this link: https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/cht-sheet-music/12721/

This is a reproduction of the original score. Changes were made at measures 14 & 40 by adding a flat to the right-hand Bs; at 17 & 43 added a sharp to the LH D; at 19 & 45 added a natural to the 3rd A; at 63, 64, 71 & 72 removed the flat from the last G. Measures 9, 10, 35 & 36 had to be adjusted because some notes were played by both hands at the same time, either the right hand had to be adjusted up one octave or the left hand down one octave; I've chosen to lower the left hand down an octave.
