Golliwogg's Cake-Walk is the 6th piece in the solo piano suite
"Children's Corner" by Claude Debussy, completed in 1908. It is
dedicated to Debussy's daughter Emma-Claude - known as "Chou-Chou"
- who was three years old at the time.
It is believed that the piece is named after the Florence Upton
Golliwogg books that Debussy's daughter had. In fact, when
Children's Corner was first published by Durand it originally
featured Claude Debussy's own drawing of Florence Upton's
Golliwogg.
