Your cellos and basses will shine in this fun, educational, and very playable section feature by Richard Meyer. A great introduction to ragtime, this charming work uses the harmonies and stylistic features made famous by Scott Joplin at the turn of the twentieth century. Particularly enjoyable is the minor-key pizzicato section, which features an amusing array of "silent movie-style" sound effects such as slide whistle, ratchet and cowbell.
