Summary of This Sheet Music
This collection offers piano transcriptions from albums recorded by Claude Bolling, featuring a particularly rich program centered on ragtime and its bridges to jazz. You will find 24 pieces with strong character, perfect for developing left-hand steadiness, hand independence, accent precision, and the quality of "swing" unique to this repertoire.
The contents alternate between major standards and gems of the style: Maple Leaf Rag, The Entertainer's Rag, Scott Joplin's New Rag, and Temptation Rag sit alongside more "novelty"-flavored titles like Kitten on the Keys and In a Mist. Salon and stride enthusiasts will also appreciate pieces such as Carolina Shout and Harlem Strut, while the more narrative and danceable rags (for example Gladiolus Rag, Chantecler Rag, or Saint-Louis Rag ) add variety and color.
The inclusion of several Pastime Rag (no.1, no.2, and no.4) allows for building a coherent mini-suite, useful for working endurance and contrast management. Toward the end, titles like The Jazz Master and The Perfect Rag complete the set, culminating with Waiting for the Robert E. Lee, to conclude on a decidedly festive note.
