This album contains six of his greatest rags including The Entertainer Maple Leaf Rag and The Chrysanthemum. A separate piano accompaniment book is available for concert performances.

Arrangement: Chiaro Giovanni (De). Par CHIARO GIOVANNI DE. The piano rag is musical form unlike any other. Although melodious, ragtime's excitement and appeal derives from its syncopated rhythms. Ragtime music achieved notoriety through its greatest composer, Scott Joplin (1868-1917). At an early age he studied with an old German musician who introduced him to the piano and music theory. While still in his early teens he earned his way playing piano in the honky-tonks of villages and towns in the Mississippi Valley. He was intrigued with the folk music of his people and the 'jig piano' style of the self-taught pianists with whom he worked. Take a musical journey through Scott Joplin's prolific career and perform these time-honored ragtime piano pieces as they are transcribed here for solo guitar. Written in standard notation only with fingerings and historical/ performance notes. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Ragtime - Solos / Recueil / Guitare Classique

Comme beaucoup de gens, je me suis intéressé au ragtime en tant que forme artistique grâce à Joshua Rifkin et ses interprétations de la musique de Scott Joplin. En 1971, après divers projets communs au Royaume-Uni, un ami américain m'envoya un exemplaire des Collected Piano Works (oevres complètes pour piano) de Joplin, tout juste publiées. Quelque temps après, au cours d'un voyage en Australie, un ami pourvu d'une immense collection de disques me fit écouter des enregistrements de rags et de musique de style ' stride '. C'est ainsi que je découvris l'incomparable James P. Johnson interprétant, entre autres, Mule-Walk Stomp et The Carolina Shout.Mon initiation fit un bond en avant quand je fis la connaissance de William Albright. Son disque Ragtime Back to Back, enregistré avec William Bolcom, avait déclenché en moi une admiration passionnée. Non seulement Bill Albright me donna la partition de sa Grand Sonata in Rag (Jobert-Paris, 1974) que j'avais eu le plaisir d'entendre auparavant, mais il me fournit aussi des copies de ses transcriptions d'anciens enregistrements de ' strides ' figurant sur le disque mentionné ci-dessus. À Terre-Neuve, un passionné de ragtime me fit écouter des enregistrements de Max Morath et de sa musique. Je pris contact avec le compositeur qui eut la gentillesse de m'envoyer la partition de Polyragmic. Récemment, j'ai travaillé les magnifiques rags de William Bolcom (Complete Rags for Piano, Edward B. Marks MusicCompany), superbement enregistrés par John Murphy (Albany).Ainsi, après avoir joué Joplin, Albright et Morath au fil des années et maintenant, certains rags de Bolcom, le temps me semblait venu de m'y essayer à mon tour. Voici le résultat de cette aventure. Ces pièces, écrites en janvier et février 2012 pour mes amis du Gers, sont présentées ici dans l'ordre de leur composition. Sainte -Christie et Caillavet sont deux petits villages perchés sur des collines, avec vue sur les Pyrénées. Pavie, près d'Auch, est le site du Château Monlaur. Mon épouse et moi résidons à Caillavet. Les deux derniers rags ont été composéspour nos voisins.Pour finir, un conseil de Scott Joplin : ' C'est toujours une erreur de jouer le ragtime vite. ' / Piano
