The cakewalk is a dance that was popular in the late nineteenth-century and indicative of the ragtime style, which was the precursor to Jazz. This piece contains the well-known cakewalk rhythm as the basis of all of the melodic and accompanying material. In typical Carl Strommen fashion, the piece is tuneful, well-scored and fun!
