THE RAGTIME VIOLIN. By IRVING BERLIN, TED SNYDER CO., NEW YORK, 1911.
 
Sheet Music - Large Format
Vintage from the 1910s
 
Ragtime music is truly African-American music. It combines rhythms that were brought to this country by slaves, with musical forms brought over to the United States from Europe. Ragtime uses syncopated rhythms — that is, the accents in the melody are shifted away from the strong beats in the bass line underneath.
 
Nice condition with light cover edge wear. Front cover: A picture of an individual playing the violin.
