Eugenia

In spite of his use of the common cakewalk/march pattern of a repeated interlude in the C section, this rag, the Eugenia Rag (1906), transcends many old ideas.  Providing continuity, patterns of repeated bass octaves are present throughout the piece. The use of repeated phrases starting on off beats results in more interesting accumulative phrases.
