In 1908, the 40 year old
Scott Joplin published his book,
The School of Ragtime. Joplin was serious about this project, as his preface states.
That real ragtime of the higher class is rather difficult to play is a painful truth which most pianists have discovered. Syncopations are no indication of light or trashy music, and to shy bricks at hateful ragtime no longer passes for musical culture.
So there! This was music to be taken seriously. Tin Pan Alley was already starting to flood the market with ragtime numbers, and Joplin intended that his music would stand above the competition.
This piece starts like Joplins earlier rags in a contemplative vein, but the C theme turns rich and dark, and the D theme turns operatic. This is Rifkin at the piano.
Joplin: Fig Leaf Rag
This is something of a throwback to his earlier work.
Sugar Cane
This is one his greatest rags, a genuine masterpiece, that looks into the future and points the way to jazz. The C theme moves from B-flat to E-flat, and the left hand steps away from the rigid one-and-two-and beat to turn low-down-and-dirty. The D themes left hand turns to a stride line that points the way to Willie The Lion Smith. This is Rifkin at the piano.

LOL! I recall having seen a vanity license plate some years ago - MFAUX - Not sure that would get by the censors now - they've become more literate in the last couple of decades.

It’s been cold overnights but tolerable days in the 50s. No snow here. It got as close as western Ohio and swept Northward.

In 1909,
Scott Joplin married for the second time. Lottie was a better fit than Belle, and the Joplins ran a combination boarding house and conservatory in midtown Manhattan. He began writing an opera, Treemonisha, that would consume much of time, his spirit, and eventually his sanity.
John Stark was driven out of business by Tin Pan Alley, and he closed his New York office, returning to St. Louis. Joplin now found a new publisher.
His pieces for 1909 were a fine lot with a few masterpieces. The first piece is badly mistitled. It has nothing to do with Wall Street and is wonderfully romantic.
Joplin: Wall Street Rag
This masterpiece is a tango, a warm and contemplative piece that is one of his very greatest works. The C theme will break your heart, and the D theme will bring tears. Its Rifkin at the piano. (I love playing this piece on the piano!) This video is amazing with its antique postcards.
Solace
This is a waltz with Joplin at the piano via roll. Unlike Ampico, this brand of piano roll doesnt quite capture the dynamics of the performance. By the time Joplin recorded his few piano rolls, his technique was deteriorating as his sanity began to slip.
Pleasant Moments
You can just hear the horses prancing on the way to club. William Bolcom, one of our better modern composers, is at the piano.
Country Club
This experimental piece has a different format, AA-BB-A-CC-A, returning to the opening theme, much like a classical rondo. For his C theme, Joplin turns to the minor.
Euphonic Sounds
This harkens back to the old plantation sound. Rifkin on the piano.
Paragon Rag
