EDITORS COMMENTS
Cat on Hot Bricks: A Rollicking Rag for Piano by Ezra Read - 1922 This delightful and whimsical music cover, titled "Cat on Hot Bricks: A Rollicking Rag for Piano" by Ezra Read, dates back to 1922. The image features a mischievous cat perched on a stack of hot bricks, nonchalantly licking its paw as if unfazed by the heat. The playful expression on the cat's face and the title of the piece suggest a lighthearted, humorous tone. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a time of great cultural and social change. This era was marked by the rise of jazz music, flapper fashion, and a general sense of rebellion against traditional values. The popularity of ragtime music, a precursor to jazz, was at its peak during this time. Ragtime music, characterized by its syncopated rhythms and complex melodies, was a favorite among audiences in the 1920s. Piano players, in particular, were in high demand as people gathered in their living rooms and dance halls to listen to and dance to the latest ragtime tunes. Ezra Read was a prolific composer of ragtime music, and "Cat on Hot Bricks" is just one of many pieces he wrote during this period. The cover art for this piece captures the spirit of the era with its lively, comic depiction of a cat seemingly defying the laws of physics and common sense. The image is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates the quirky sense of humor of the 1920s.
