Something Doing is described as a cakewalk march as described on the original sheet music front cover. A cakewalk was a dance developed from an Afro-American contest in graceful walking dating from the plantation and slavery days - a cake being the prize. A pre-cursor to ragtime, the dance took on many versions even to the extent of being adapted by high society in Paris.
Something Doing was published by Val. A. Reis Music Co., St. Louis, Mussouri, USA.
A tempo of 72 crotchets/min. is suggested.

This recorder adaptation is respectfully dedicated to Nina Lucie Würz, photographer, Bremen, Germany.
