A rag written in the dance style of the Two-step popular in the late 1800's . This was the composer's go to piece back in the day when pianists still had to win crowd approval or else get bumped by another pianist. These afterhours places were at bars, store basements or else somebody's house and our pay was exclusively through tips. Tempo shouldn't be too fast due to the dance pattern of step-together-step. Also, pianists are encouraged to use as much or as little pedal as they feel is appropriate. Also, stomping the right pedal on the piano is encourage in order to keep a strong beat as Scott Joplin demonstrated in some of his rags.
