Julius Lenzberg (1878-1956)

Overview

According to the Internet source given below, Julius Lenzberg was an American composer of popular music. Whilst he had only a few ragtime hits, his contribution to the genre was significant in his adaptations of well-known classical melodies for piano ragtime. This triggered a number of composers and performers to do likewise e.g. Paderewski Rag (1920) by Frank Henri Klickmann .
The chief of these are Hungarian Rag and Operatic Rag whilst Haunting Rag is considered to be his most original.
