Scott Joplin

Rag-Time Dance, Medium Scott Joplin

This is another famous Joplin rag which has been arranged here for 2 clarinets and piano. The piano part remains in the original key and clarinets play the famous melodic lines above the steady bass. The clarinets and piano alternate melodic sections. Sometimes the piano plays alone and sometimes the clarinets play the melody with the piano adding newly composed, stylistically accurate counter melodies.
