More Concertina Ragtime: Hoosier Rag

[RAc]

I decided to learn this piece for several reasons:

 

1. It's a witty rag that sounds good both slow and fast (I do the former as I can't play at lightning speed)

2. It was written by a woman, and although women have contributed significant pieces to the ragtime realm, few are known to the musical public, so I like to draw attention to those underrated composers

3. It's tons of fun to play

4. I'm an IU graduate.

 

Played on Holden#3 Crane Duet

 

All comments (especially critical ones) welcome and appreciated.

 

Thanks for listening!

FWIW, I also recorded a video:

 

 

...mostly to prove to myself that I am able of single taking a slightly more complex piece. It does get a wee sloppy towards the end, I understand, but I was out of time I could shell out for music after about three hours restarting and discarding take after take (there are many errors one can make when there are many notes in a piece).

 

Thanks for watching!
