The famous Golliwogg's Cakewalk is the final piece from Debussy's cycle Childrens 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.

These miniatures are aimed at young advanced piano lovers - not only with regard to playing technique, but also to their handling ofmodern harmonies and tonal gestures. An important point of reference for ear and hands clearly is Claude Debussy's piano oeuvre, particularly his Preludes, Etudes and Childrens Corner. Debussy and York Holler's composition even share a modern musical poetry which does not require an extramusical programme. The five pieces are suitable for being performed separately or as many-faceted cycle.
