including, and particularly, the coordination between man and time."
AUTHOR: Igor Stravinsky

EUGENIA
EUGENIA
Benjamin Loeb, Piano
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.
