This is probably the only waltz written by any of the stride masters in this era...another sound that JPJ simply created!! An exceptionally difficult tune to play too.

What a gem. I had never heard this before. Johnson would have been 27 when this piano roll was made.

Fats Waller also wrote "Jitterbug Waltz" but of course this was later, in the 40's. Eubie Blake wrote a couple other waltzes. Luckey wrote waltz songs (with lyrics), following popular custom. I'm sure that early guys like Frederick M. Bryan wrote some waltzes. If Willie "the Lion" wrote a waltz, I've never heard of it.

Syncopated (or ragtime) waltzes were very popular starting in the teens, although they had been written earlier by the likes of Harry P. Guy and Scott Joplin. Although most ragtime composers wrote at least one waltz (syncopated or not), the real prolific kings of the ragtime waltz included composers Ernest J. Schuster and Harold Ivers, the latter of whom also made piano rolls. Another fellow, Harold Wansborough, made arguably the best waltz rolls of all time, of other peoples' tunes.

Interesting. I've managed to miss it, so far. The liner notes that go with my JPJ piano roll album say there is no other waltz, so I've been keeping my ears open when I get new music! And I will track this one down!

Not true, Luckey Roberts recorded a waltz like this called inner space for example.
