Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | A waltz ballad marked “not too fast,” the title and style are strongly suggestive of Charles K. Harris’s 1891 hit, “After the Ball.” The unusual extended range of the refrain, occasional melodic awkwardness, and straightforward harmonies all suggest the work of a musical amateur, adapted for publication by more experienced hands. |
