The Rags Thread

[tobyjj]

Hello All,

WCos - Your Stravinski link does not download - could you possibly re-post the link, please?
Also - I don't read Cyrillic - could you tell me who the first and last composers are, please ?

Thanks.

Here are two more Satie.

Satie, Eric (1866-1925). Jack in the Box.pdf

Satie, Erik. le piccadilly.pdf

Lenzberg, Julius-Rag A Minor.pdf

Thanks for the Lenzbergs and the earlier Cobb! May I ask - since classical ragtime has been floated - if the sheets for Lenzberg's Hungarian Rag, or Cobb's Russian Rag are available?

Hello All,

I think the original question has mutated a bit ( a lot, actually) - the enquiry was in respect of piano rags written by persons known principally as 'classical music' composers.
This is different to rags written in parody of or "spoofing" the classics.

In the latter vein, Felix Arndt's "Desecration rag" is still one of my favorites, though Stan Bradbury wrote some fun "syncopated classics" too. Felix Arndt's 2nd similarly pitched offering (sub-title: "An Operatic Nightmare" is also fun, but doesn't appeal to me as much since opera was never promoted, (and is thus unfamiliar to me), in our household.

Regardless, both types are interesting and fun and subject to the "copyright" restrictions referred to by Frank - I'm happy to contribute, specimens of both types.

Regards to all

In addition to the Kats-Chernin I offered before, I should have mentioned William Bolcom's Three Ghost Rags, the most well-known being the first: Graceful Ghost Rag. The other two are The Poltergeist and Dream Shadows.

A more extensive collection of his 22(?) rags is in print.

In the latter vein, Felix Arndt's "Desecration rag" is still one of my favorites..

Another discovery! Downloadable here.

According to a Victor record label:", it introduces "ragtime perversions of 'Humoresque' (Dvorak); '2nd Hungarian rhapsody' (Liszt); 'Rustle of spring' (Sinding); 'Impromptu' (Chopin); 'Militaire polonaise' (Chopin); and Chopin's 'Funeral march' (Subtitle)

Sadly only offered as a suggestion for arnero's classical rag composer list. It's very much current and under copyright.
