Closing Words by W.E.B. DuBois

Postlude  “Heliotrope Bouquet,” a Slow Drag Two Step by Scott Joplin and
Louis Chauvin

 A Slow Drag was a "cling and sway" sensual style of dancing, similar to
"slow dancing" now, only more suggestive and too intimate to dance with a
casual partner. The first and second sections were probably composed by
Chauvin, the third and fourth show many characteristics of Joplin's
style.–R.K.
