Colin Kirkpatrick Publications #6443651. Published by Colin Kirkpatrick Publications (A0.522269). Ragtime is a form of African-American music which emerged during the late nineteenth century. The ragtime style pre-dates jazz music and was at its most popular between the 1890s until the end of the First World War. It’s related musically to the military band marches of the day; to European salon music and to the popular music of the African-American communities in cities such as St. Louis. This is an entertaining single-movement piano trio written in homage to the African-American composer Scott Joplin (c. 1868 - 1917) whose ragtime pieces became hugely successful after he first published Maple Leaf Rag in 1899. This piece is scored for oboe, bassoon and piano and with a running time of just over three minutes this lively piece is sure to please performers and audiences alike. It's a highly rhythmic work with plenty of cross-rhythms and syncopation - guaranteed to get the audience's feet tapping. It would work well either as a lively opening number to your recital or as an encore piece. The PDF file includes an eight-page score that shows the piano and wind parts and also includes a 3-page oboe part and 3-page bassoon part printed with slightly enlarged staves for easy reading. It’s intended for intermediate players (high school/college) though the piano part requires a reasonably competent pianist for some passages. The piece opens in F major and modulates to B flat major. The oboe part is about ABRSM (UK) Grade 4 (top note C above treble staff) and the bassoon part about ABRSM Grade 5 (top note F above bass staff). Near the end of the piece, there’s a subtle reference to Joplin’s famous Maple Leaf Rag. Add this classic ragtime sound to your repertoire today!
