The film contains mini documentaries about the lives of American violin virtuoso Maud Powell -- the first Victor recording star -- and American ragtime composer J. Rosamond Johnson, both inspired by and influenced by Coleridge-Taylor. Of note are Powell's transcriptions of Coleridge-Taylor's and J. Rosamond Johnson's settings of African-American spirituals -- performed in the film by contemporary violinist Rachel Barton Pine -- and an in-depth look at the American ragtime period, 1902-1920, with historic photographs.
