The pianistic world of James P. Johnson, notably with emblematic titles like \u003cstrong\u003eMule-Walk Stomp\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Carolina Shout\u003c\/strong\u003e, opens here the door to a more percussive, freer aesthetic, where the left hand carries the pulse while the right hand makes the syncopations sing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inspiration continues through contact with contemporary composers and pianists: William Albright and William Bolcom, whose energy in revisited ragtime and pianistic writing foster lasting admiration, not forgetting Max Morath and his way of making tradition and modernity converse. This path, made of listening, shared scores, and encounters, naturally leads to the desire to compose in turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pieces presented were written in \u003cstrong\u003eJanuary and February 2012\u003c\/strong\u003e for friends from Gers, and are given \u003cstrong\u003ein the order of their composition\u003c\/strong\u003e. Some bear the direct imprint of places: \u003cstrong\u003eSainte-Christie\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCaillavet\u003c\/strong\u003e, two hilltop villages with views of the Pyrénées, as well as \u003cstrong\u003ePavie\u003c\/strong\u003e, near Auch, associated with Château Monlaur. The last two rags were composed for neighbors, adding an intimate and warm dimension to the whole. The spirit of ragtime is found here: danceable structure, offbeat accents, precise phrasing, and sense of groove, with an essential recommendation to preserve the style: prioritize rhythmic clarity and flexibility rather than speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eJazz, Blues, Soul\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFrench\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eragtime sheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Billaudot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357053145363,"sku":"216314","price":5.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/7ecdd7cc1b643dc9be8cf52e46be1279f78871a0_GB9620.jpg?v=1789453018","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/billaudot-hendrie-gerald-another-handful-of-rags-piano-216314","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
