Atlantic City Board Walk

Composer: George Schroeder

Publisher: George Schroeder

Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Copyright Year: 1900

Form: Two Step / Cakewalk

Notes: The cover spells Pittsburgh as “Pittsburg.” This was not a typo. Between 1891 and 1911 the official spelling of the city’s name was Pittsburg.

Written in 6/8 time, this piece is strangely marketed as a cakewalk. The music itself doesn’t seem to be in the form of a cakewalk.
