Drake's Cake Walk - Edwin F. Kendall (1909) - Ragtime Piano Solo
43Drake's Cake Walk, composed by Edwin F. Kendall in 1909.
Edwin Kendall is a fairly new-to-me composer who has some excellent pieces to his name, including this cake walk jingle which was literally written for cake! The Drake Brothers Company opened their first bakery in Brooklyn in 1896, and later commissioned Kendall in 1909 to write this piece to help advertise their wares. The 'jingle' is rather short and sweet, and seems to have been successful because "Drake's Cakes" are actually still around today.
