“Tigress Rag” for piano!

Scott Joplin, who is often regarded as the “King of Ragtime Music”, wrote for a variety of instrumental ensembles, but his primary instrument was the piano.

So… the thought finally arose: Choraegus has the Tigress Rag as a piece for five to seven octaves of handbells. It was the second-place finisher in the “All That Jazz” composition contest created by the Bells of the Sound in 2011! However, handbell music typically has more simultaneous notes than a person’s normal complement of fingers, so the handbell score doesn’t work very well for a solo pianist.

So… we now have a solo piano version of the Tigress Rag. Do take a look!
