Odds and Ends by Egbert Van Alstyne (1910)

Original listing and sheet music here: This score appeared in a folio called “Rag Bag“, published by Leo Feist in New York City in 1910, which consisted of ten rare rags including this one. Thanks to a tip from Musescore’s JohnJ1995, I was able to obtain a copy of this folio. Egbert Van Alstyne was a highly prolific composer/songwriter; in 1910 alone he published over two dozen scores, most of them songs. This forgotten rag was one of those scores and seems to have only appeared in The Rag Bag. This is the third of four Egbert Van Alstyne rags in this current series. I’ve saved the scan of the original score from the 1910 Rag Bag to this link: #EwcL4YbDF9e0_dHuI-yPiuvrIBDDcIjc5xky7EO1HQ8 Might also be available through at this link: Transcribed directly from the 1910 original.
