- Edison Diamond Disc Record, "Operatic Rag" and "The Skating Trot," 1914 - This ragtime instrumental was written by composer Julius Lenzberg, a classically grounded musician with an ear for melody. Lenzberg created many clever rags that reflected his classical background and taste for whimsy. His two ragtime masterpieces were the Hungarian Rag (1913) and Operatic Rag (1914). While existing classical compositions were the inspiration for these pieces -- Lenzberg's transformations were quite original.
