Product Description

Persnickety def: something small or insistent, that will not go away. Persnickety Rag uses the same 4 bars that end the first theme as the end of EACH of the strains, thus fulfilling part two of persnickety-ness. Each theme also uses some kind of chromatic changing-tone melodic element, making for complete-persnickety-ness throughout! (lol?) The bass uses octave-chord-chord-octave in the main theme, and octave-chord-octave chord in the intervening and final sections. There are scales in octaves in the final theme as well. Classic rag structure, with theme A repeated, theme B repeated, theme A once through, and theme C repeated. Approx duration at tempo indicated 3 mins, 30 secs. Pedal on the strong beats, and the tempo here is also a tidge faster than usual, but not TOO much faster!
