Synopsis
Ragtime Piano Solos And How To Play Them is a comprehensive guidebook for anyone looking to learn how to play ragtime piano music. Written by renowned pianist and composer Billy Taylor, this book provides a detailed overview of the history and development of ragtime music, as well as step-by-step instructions for playing some of the most iconic ragtime piano solos ever written.The book begins with an introduction to the basics of ragtime piano, including the characteristic syncopated rhythms and left-hand patterns that define the style. From there, Taylor delves into the history of ragtime, exploring its roots in African American culture and its rise to popularity in the early 20th century.The heart of the book is a collection of 12 classic ragtime piano solos, each accompanied by detailed instructions and performance tips from Taylor himself. These solos range from the well-known (such as Scott Joplin's ""Maple Leaf Rag"") to the lesser-known but equally impressive (such as James Scott's ""Frog Legs Rag"").Throughout the book, Taylor emphasizes the importance of developing a strong sense of rhythm and timing, as well as the ability to improvise and add one's own personal touch to the music. He also provides helpful advice on technique, fingering, and phrasing, making this book a valuable resource for pianists of all skill levels.Overall, Ragtime Piano Solos And How To Play Them is a must-have for anyone interested in the rich history and vibrant sound of ragtime piano music. With its engaging writing style, clear instructions, and expert insights from Billy Taylor, this book is sure to inspire and educate pianists for years to come.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    This book is thin. Saying there is a note between the octaves does not count for teaching. Teaching is why I bought the book. Yes, having the sheet music for several rags is priceless, do not purchase for teaching. The cost is also high for such a thin book. As always God bless.
