At his request I frequently played it for our guests never suspecting that I would someday make this recording. My father is equally surprised by this and the unexpected turn of events which finds him now living just outside of Joplin, Missouri. SIDE A no. 1 PEACHERlNE RAG (190]) is in the typical rag form; Introduction, AABBACCDD. The first theme is thin textured, graceful and swinging. Theme two is a very polished, hesitant tune with broken octaves coyly accenting the offbeat in the upper octave. The third theme cuts loose and "rolls" and with theme four we return to a more reserved and controlled ragged rhythm. no. 2 EASY WINNERS A Rag Time Two Step (190]). The first three themes suggest the Cakewalk and the fourth theme uses a "barrel house" rhythm and heavy chords recalling the honkey-tonk pianists. no. 3 HARMONY CLUB WALTZ (1896), one of Joplin's earliest works, is a sweet and sentimental Victorian Waltz. It is constructed on 7 themes in 5 differtnt keys, no. 4 MAPLE LEAF RAG (1899) brought Joplin almost instant fame and was used as a prototype for at least 12 years by ragtime composers, no. 5 HELIOTROPE BOUQUET A Slow Drag Two Step (1907), The first and second themes are samples of the e xquisitely personal style of Louis Chauvin to which Joplin added themes three and four. The second theme was used again by Boyd Atkins in his 1926 Jazz hit "Heebie Jeebies", SIDE B no. 1 PINE APPLE RAG (1908) is an instrumental version of JoPlin's 1904 song by the same name. The innocence of theme one gives no hint of what is to follow, With theme two we begin to break into an infectious swaying rhythm and then after a return of theme one we let go with theme three and its "low down" style. Theme four stomps above a moving bass line somewhat suggestive of the Boogie Bass of the 40's, . no. 2 SUNFLOWER SLOW DRAG A Rag Time Two Step (1901). The publisher, John Stark wrote the following; "This piece came to light during the high temperature of Scott Joplin's courtship, and while he was touching the ground only in the highest places, his geese were swans, and Mississippi water tasted like honey-dew," It is a captiva tingly melodious work. no. 3 BETHENA a Concert Waltz (1-905), Here is proof thot Joplin was able to transform Ragtime concepts into other more serious compositions, Its smoothly elegant themes, each in a different key, are connected by short bridges which display an often unique concept of modulation, The thematic fragment presented in the introduction serves as the melodic and rhythmic idea for all the themes. no. 4 SWIPESY-Cake Walk (1900). Themes one, two and four are beautiful song-like themes of Arthur Marshall and are complimented by Joplin's third theme, Stark, the publisher, had his neighborhood shoeshine boy photographed for the cover of this piece, Upon seeing the shy, half smiling face, he commented that the lad looked as though he'd just swiped some cookies so he said "Le t's call it Swipesy", This piece enjoyed long popularity, no. S ELITE SYNCOPATIONS (1902) is an example of restrained and more sophisticated rag until it begins to jive with the fourth theme, no. 6 STOPTIME Rag (1910), Under its title it instructs; "To get the desired effect of "Stoptime", the pianist should stamp the heel of one foot heavily upon the floor wherever the word "Stamp" appears in the music." The tempo is "Fast or slow" as though the dancer were to call the time. Its many themes capture the musical qualities of American folk dance, the frontier, the minstrel and the Afro-American. #Neupert #WilliamNeilRoberts
