content: The Chicago-based Christensen was billed in Vaudeville as the "Czar of Ragtime." The sheets in this folder were composed and/or published by him. Some of the items fall into the category of "novelty piano." Many pieces are ragtime versions of other songs, for example his rag versions of Stephen Foster melodies. (18 items)
