Analysis of 'Golliwog's Cakewalk'

"Golliwog's Cakewalk" depicts the cheerful dancing of Golliwog, a mechanical doll, to the cakewalk, an American Black dance. While the piece is characterized by its light and distinctive rhythm, the middle section shifts to a languid mood, and it is particularly interesting how fragments ofWagner's "Tristan und Isolde" melody appear.
