This year marks the centennial anniversary of ragtime innovator Scott Joplin’s death, on April 1, 1917. Its not clear exactly what is happening on this disc of Scott Joplins piano rags. Joplin's courageous spirit, and the musical poetry that flowered from it-all in the face of ever-present adversity-inspired me to create this book. Patiently working my way through “The Entertainer”, “Maple Leaf Rag” and others, something was awakening inside me his music seemed to be filled with stories. Here was the music that, up until now, I had only heard on the radio. There had always been music in our house, but now sitting down to a keyboard-despite pressing all the wrong notes-became just as much fun as drawing and painting.Ībout a year later, everything shifted again when my eager fingers landed on the music of Scott Joplin-and seemingly overnight, my world changed from sepia to technicolor.Įven at that young age, I felt at once a deep and abiding connection to Joplin and his music. I’ve been drawing pictures and writing stories for as long as I can remember, but when I started taking piano lessons in the 6th grade, a door swung wide open. Despite such flashes of value, this is a slapdash effort, and one would be curious to know the copyright status of the only slightly altered logo from the film Ragtime (1981) that appears on the cover of the tin.My name is Stephen Costanza and I’m an illustrator/author of picture books.

In the Stoptime Rag (CD 2, track 1), where Joplin clearly indicates the player should stamp one foot all the way through, the foot-stamping is heard only during the music's silences. Euphonic Sounds (CD 1, track 10) is usually taken on the mellow side, but the vigorous performance here actually works satisfactorily. On the other hand, the performer(s) miss the lyricism of works like the Gladiolus Rag (CD 3, track 6) and the tango Solace (CD 1, track 9). But all are straightforward, rather stolid performances that keep the tempo moderate there aren't any novelty piano or jazz performances, which is to the good. Some of the rags are played as notated (which is what Joplin specified), some with small ornaments (which is how he actually played them himself), and some with alterations in melody and voice leading (not desirable). At least two pianos are used, and probably more, although it's hard to tell whether some of the rampant sonic shifts might be due to engineering alterations. That's true of the performances, as well, which seem to have originated in several different times and places. So this collection, which originates in Quebec, is something of a random thing. These depict Southern musical scenes, and they're actually very inventive even if not terribly appropriate to the Missourian and urban-oriented Joplin. Although mentioned on page two the complete directions for all the steps of the Ragtime Dance have not survived. The metal box and cardboard CD insert are illustrated by one Hambone, described as a Creole Choctaw artist several postcards bearing his work are also included. Originally published in 1902 for piano with narration (words, music and dance instructions all by Joplin). No booklet is included, and the performer is not even credited, nor are any performers, for there seem to be more than one.
