"The Entertainer" is a 1902 #classicPianoRag written by #ScottJoplin. It was sold first as sheet music by #JohnStarkAndSon of #SaintLouisMissouri, and in the 1910s as #pianoRolls that would play on #playerPianos. The first recording was by #blues and #ragtime musicians "the #BlueBoys" in 1928, played on #mandolin and #guitar. As one of the classics of the ragtime genre, it returned to international prominence as part of the style revival in the 1970s.

New music out on my BandCamp at https://eccentric-gear.bandcamp.com !

Ragtime: Off the Beat (De-Mastered) features the same tunes as the original album, processed to simulate old dusty vinyl records for a vintage sound.

Ragtime: Off the Beat II and its de-mastered version are another album of lesser-known ragtime composers--a fun romp through history!

Share and enjoy :)

Musical Interlude: Modern composer William Bolcom is technically regarded as a modern classical musician, but his leanings are very much toward jazz. He created a cycle of piano rags that are charming works. The "Graceful Ghost Rag" is justly famous, and I'm sure I've featured it before, but here's another rag just as nice.

"The Last Rag," composed by William Bolcom, performed by Marc-André Hamelin (who I was lucky enough to catch live once)

"Solace, Mexican Serenade" è un pezzo di Scott Joplin del 1909 ed ha un ritmo a metà strada tra tango ed habanera. Il più celebre autore di ragtime scriveva infatti anche altri tipi di musica, scrisse persino un'intera Opera.

The Cataract Rag - Robert Hampton

I just rediscovered this gem: Cataract Rag by Robert Hampton (1914). Here's a YouTube link of a performance from a piano roll:

It's quite a piece. Virtuosic and evocative. Worth listening to, in my opinion.
