Browse piano sheets by Clare Mast on Zen Virtual Piano. A vaudeville pianist, Mast composed The Kaiser's Rag for his fiancƩe, Edna Sanford, and had it printed himself in Edgerton, Ohio; her German ancestry probably explains the title. It came out in 1915, when he was nineteen. His son John Clare Mast became a professional jazz pianist, featured in The Jazz Loft Project. A rag written for a fiancƩe and printed by the composer himself suggests a personal project more than a commercial one, with a family that went on making music. All that can be found online is that he is the one-off composer of Kaiser's Rag. Little information about this artist is available.
