Since it's been a while since I have played and didn't know exactly how
fast to play this piece I did a little research and found this site:

"Pickles and Peppers, A Rag Oddity, March and Two-Step" is one of five
works which I purchased for use with the The Bremen Recorder Touring
Company in April 2000. According to the ARCADIAN PRESS notes, this rag
became so popular that it was used in the 1908 presidential campaign of
William Jennings Bryant. It sold 200,00 copies in that one year alone
and continued to sell through 1913. It has been noted that, perhaps, the
key to the rag's success is its development C to C1 idea which "turns a
straight cake-walk theme into stomping syncopation." The structural
design for "Pickles and Pepper" is: Introduction A A B B C Interlude C1
Interlude C1. "Pickles and Peppers " was published by Joseph Flanner,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
