Pianophilia

Hi Frank,

Fantastic job.

I'll update my Mayerl database and get it to you somehow - we'll see what material other pianophiles can contribute - there can not be many gaps,now (ignoring his works for multiple pianos!)

I think of his main solo works "Maids of Honour" got skipped - I need to check.

Mayerl is one of my favourites - so, from a purely personal point of view - thank you very much.

Regards,
tobyjj

Thanks Frank... amazing work.

Best regards,
Parag

Does anyone have a good pdf of Maple Leaf Stomp as played by Jelly Roll Morton here?

A friend of mine was able to transfer the score shown in the video to a pdf file, but since that score was created by a computer program I find it very awkward to read. I can send the score to anyone who's interested or might be able to convert it into and "easier to read" file.I don't know how to post the score at Pianophilia, but if there are instructions for the computer challenged somewhere, I'd appeciate it if someone would point this out to me.

Thanks!!

This one's been doing the rounds for a while; not sure if it's the one you're after though.

I was wondering, does anybody have "The Fig Leaf Rag" composed and published by William R. Lawrence in 1909?
Of course I'm not talking about the Joplin rag, that can be found here http://www.ragtimepiano.ca/images/figleaf.pdf , but of a much nicer piece published a year later.
Thanks
Luigi

Hi tobyjj and Parag,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm happy the work is done! Enjoy playing the music, that's what it's here for.

Hi Luigi,

I'm very familiar with the "Fig Leaf Rag" by William R. Lawrence because it was issued on piano roll played by Pete Wendling (Rhythmodik roll A10802) which I have, but I have never seen the sheet music for the piece. I don't have the roll scanned yet otherwise I'd post a midi file for you. It's a great rag played in one-step tempo. I've been looking for the sheet music too (just a photocopy for me!) but the major collections I know about don't seem to have it.

All Best,

Frank

....back to syncopations micellaneous...

especially for fans of boogie-woogie...

Ann Leaf was a professional organist, but composed at least two works in the novelty idiom
