Summary of This Sheet Music
With Joy Of Ragtime, dive into the immediate pleasure of the finest ragtime piano pieces: a style recognizable from a thousand, both elegant, lively, and incredibly effective for developing rhythmic precision. The collection brings together twenty-nine rags that have become benchmarks, composed by Scott Joplin, Joseph Lamb, Tom Turpin, and other major composers of the genre.
Featured are iconic titles such as The Entertainer, a true symbol of ragtime, as well as Maple Leaf Ragand Palm Leaf Rag, perfect for establishing a solid accompaniment and learning to make the melody "sing" over a steady pulse. The collection also offers pieces with a very distinctive character like Peacherine Rag, The Cascades, The Chrysanthemum, and The Sycamore, ideal for working on contrasts, articulation, and the swing unique to the style.
The selection varies the moods, between parade, cakewalk, and more intimate rag, with titles such as Cakewalk Parade, Calico Rag, Frog Legs Rag, and Weeping Willow. Special mention goes to the piece The Use Of Classical Music By Modern Song Writers - Rainbow Fantasy [Chopin], an interesting nod to the bridges between classical music and ragtime composition. A perfect sheet music for pianists wishing to add a vintage and virtuosic color to their library while strengthening their sense of rhythm.
