New! Ragtime Piano Music Books
INDIAN INTERMEZZOS AND TWO-STEPS. Complete sheet music scores for 20 Native American themed piano solos from the Golden Age of Ragtime (circa 1899 to 1920), with computer CD recordings -- See it, Hear it, Play it. These are complete scores -- not digital copies, but full size reprints from the original folios, spiral bound in a sturdy performer's edition. Includes a computer CD of all the tunes in piano midi form -- you'll hear the piece exactly as the composer wrote it. A sub-genre of Ragtime piano music, these whimsical syncopated marches were hugely popular during the Ragtime Era. Their dramatic "tom-tom" rhythms and
charming melodies have influenced the soundtracks of many western movies and TV shows, and still conjure up images of the American West, a time of buffalo hunters and sun dances and warriors bold. Contains the best of the genre, written by the best composers of the period, including Charles L. Johnson, Percy Wenrich and Neil Moret, among others. $25.95
