The Cascades (A Rag)

[carrotville]

There was a huge waterfall display at the 1904 St Louis World's Fair called "The Cascades". Joplin was impressed and wrote this rag.

This the best intrepretation I've heard...very faithful to the original tempo and pedal work

Nice Job. This is one of Joplins finest rags. Very majestic. You played it well. Written for the St Louis fair in the early 1900s.

@doodli2000 that transition into that part was probably the hardest part for me in this song.

I am not the one playing--this is an instruction track, played by Valery Lloyd Watts.

@the1pianofanatic this sounds a lot like the recording of dick hyman playing this song. He plays it faster though (Dick Hyman) lol sorry, it's a funny name.
