Summary edit

Description
English: Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/scores/7804220?from=youtube_share
If you've ever noticed that there seems to be a relationship between scores with "Pike" in the title and the year 1904, that's because a main feature of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair was The Pike, an over one mile long promenade through the heart of the fair. "On the Pike" by James Scott, "Hike to the Pike" by Edward Claypoole and several other titles are all referring to the fair's Pike. It's where the expression "coming down the pike" originated.

Ida Bierman's only known rag, and quite a good one it is, following up her excellent ragtime intermezzo from 1903 "Laughing Water". Published by W.C. Polla in Chicago in 1904. This piece was also featured in the Nora Hulse CD "Cake Walks, Two Steps and Rags by Women Composers". Thank you to JohnJ1995 for the CD info.

Licensing edit

Public domain
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
