Description: 1 page typescript letter from Eubie Blake to Harold C. Schonberg, chief music critic for the New York Times, dated February 12, 1971, and Schonberg's response, dated February 17, 1971. In his letter, Eubie tells Schonberg he enjoyed the critic's article in the New York Times about ragtime music and Scott Joplin. Eubie gives him some brief biographical information on himself as one of Joplin's contemporaries, and encloses a Columbia record album of his recordings. "I trust that it will prove enjoyable," writes Eubie, "and also that it may further your experience in ragtime music." In his reply, Schonberg thanks Eubie for his letter and the album, and says he will listen to the recordings at his first opportunity. Creator: Blake, Eubie, 1883- Schonberg, Harold C.
