Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/scores/14708230?from=youtube_share
The year 2024 is a leap year, a year where we add February 29th to the calendar. 1908 was a leap year also and might explain the choice of title for this "bouncy" rag or rag intermezzo. That's just speculation on my part, but it does seem plausible. It was one of several rags written by New York composer/musician Edwin F. Kendall, who also wrote a variety of other things and deserves a bit more recognition. This one was published by Jerome H. Remick in New York City in 1908.

Original score source was from the Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection at Mississippi State University at this link: https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/cht-sheet-music/12810/ This is a reproduction of the original score. I have made changes at measure 30 by adding a flat to the right-hand A and a natural to the last left-hand C, and at measure 38 by adding a flat to the right-hand A.
