The Robardina Rag is a splendid two-step with a patchwork of no less than five folksy melodies in the form of AABBACCDDEE with a 4-bar introduction whereby the whole is written in the key of C-major. Furry dedicated this piece to a certain Miss Lucy Kenney of St. Louis. The rag itself is a terrific piece for the 1st tenor who has all the melodies from start to finish. If a treble is used instead of a tenor for the first voice then the bottom E's in bars 85 and 93 have to be surrendered to the 2nd tenor - a minor adjustment.
The Robardina Rag was published by Balmer & Weber Music House Co., St. Louis, Missouri, USA. In 1904 it was transferred to Thiebes Stierlin, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
A tempo of 80 crotchets/min. is suggested.
There is also a tenor solo version of this item.
