Basic Ragtime

Compozitor Michael Finnissy
en Limba Engleză Sheet music – 21 ian 2016
Basic Ragtime is a collection of short movements for a small group of string players and piano. I collected them together at the request of Rodney Lister, for a performance at the New England Conservatorium in Boston. Numbers II, III, VI, and VII had been written, or sketched, some years previously as gifts for the dedicatees, and their names - in cipher - provided some of the pitch material. This procedure was also followed in number V, but not in the other sections, which draw material from works already familiar to the students: the second of the Dvorak Bagatelles Op.47 and the first movement of Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik KV 525. I added number VIII in 2013 in memory of Richard Rodney Bennett.Scott Joplin's injunction 'not to play ragtime too fast' is also to be followed here. The resultant sound-world should seem elegant and sedate rather than raucous in its rhythmic swing; the textures translucent, quite Chopinesque for the piano.
