The
famous Golliwogg's
Cakewalk is the final
piece from Debussy's
cycle Children's Corner
which consists of 6
miniatures for piano,
written for his daughter
in the years
1906-1908.The style
corresponds to that of
ragtime, a dance which
was in vogue around the
turn of the century. In
the middle section, he
parodies several times
the beginning of the
opera Tristan and Isolde
by Richard Wagner with
whom Debussy had a rather
ambiguous
relationship.The present
arrangement now allows
musicians to play the
popular movement in a
version for melodic
instrument with
accompaniment.
