Treemonisha, A Real Slow Drag - SCOTT JOPLIN (1911, Ragtime Piano) Max Morath Quartet

[LucaC1993Production]

Great!

What a beautiful composition!

For a few seconds, twice from 1:25 to 1:38, sounds a little bit like the early argentine Tangos, from the time before the bandoneón replaced the fiddle or the guitar.

This is a lovely piece. Thanks for sharing it!

ahead of its time

Did you mean to transpose it? This is B flat minor or almost A. I kind of like it.

Later redone by Irving Berlin as "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to become a national sensation.

Sounds like this one influenced the Godfather soundtrack.

There's a genuine beauty to this composition. The melody haunts me! Thanks for this posting.

C'est très joli et original ! Merci.

Treemonisha is usually called a ragtime opera. Only three numbers are rags.

They are the best part of the piece. Joplin wrote another opera, but it

seems to be lost.

I also love Max's recording of Irving Berlin rags.

Thanks for the great post.

A gorgeous piece of music. What a great talent! This sort of goes along with that PBS special I saw today. If I ever see it again I will try to get a copy for you. (If you haven't seen it already.) I think it is interesting that I found this today, just after hearing that speed wasn't the necessary part of ragtime. The timing and syncopation was the most important part of ragtime. Was that special right? I trust you more than PBS and that's saying a lot! Thanks again for more great music.

Wow, Scott Joplin stretching the boundaries of what ragtime could be! This is like PROG-RAG!

[MrSirJet]

Joplin was a musical genius and is still proving it

[ThaRemco]

So lovely! Thank you for all your hard work taking us back to a better time(musicwise).

This is interesting, so different from the "mainstream' Scott Joplin...

Yet another rag with a banjo, I love them! Thank so much for sharing! Peace, bro
