John Arpin's awesome rendering of this bouncy, outstanding rag at one of his last appearances (in the Czech Republic, I think) is also on YouTube... The first time I heard Bohemia was on Joshua Rifkin's "Rags & Tangos" CD, and I just couldn't get it out of my mind! :-) Bohemia is a great rag, Sue Keller's interpretation is wonderful, and I'll listen to it again and again not only for the Ragtime, but also for the memories of John Arpin! :-)

Joe Lamb's daughter Patricia gave Sue and I an interesting LP recorded in her living room called "Joseph Lamb: A Study in Classic Ragtime" where Joe plays and discusses a number of his pieces like Ragtime Nightingale and American Beauty (but not Bohemia). I only mention it because you might find his tempos, style, and commentary interesting. I don't know if it was ever issued as a CD but the tracks seem to be available on a number of commercial music sites as mp3 downloads.

Sue, Sue, Sue...

Oh dear, you are such a great player, but please remember this:

On the sheet music of several rags Joplin had printed "NOTICE! Don't play this piece fast. It is never right to play 'Ragtime' fast -- Author"

[torsbyn]

Well, pity Joplin didn't write "Bohemia".

Anyway, "fast" is relative. "fast" was sometimes "very fast" in those days.
