"Hi,
I just listened Andreyev's Anton Webern in 10 minutes
Very enticing. A few words that pass by may switch
some new ideas...
Thank you again, Gav. "

A delightful piano composition - Peacherine Rag
Posted on December 9, 2014 at 12:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I started composing because of the music in the movie "The Sting" - the ragtime of Scott Joplin. His music is not only great sounding, but a fun fit fit for the fingers - physically enjoyable to play. Here's a piece which was not in The Sting, but which is a delightful example of his work - about 3 minutes long -

The middle section (starting at about 1:50) particularly is delightful…
