About

The most notable score composed by Philadelphia musician and composer Will Held (1888-1925), an enduring classic. He also wrote two other rags and an assortment of other pieces during his career which was cut short by his death from natural causes at age 36. This was his final rag, which was published by Stark Music Co. (same who published a number of Joplin and James Scott rags) in St. Louis in 1916.

This is a reproduction of the original score.
