Ragtime

Hi Mark,

I just tried clicking the link, above, Win Media Player opens and plays it. If I do save as, the file downloads. It is a bit interesting that if I open the midi download in Composer, a message says there is no auto channel available and only the right hand played until I assigned the left hand to a channel.

About the rhythmic detail, I'm not sure what you refer to. There are measures with a grace note on the first beat followed by 8th note triplets. The section with the tempo changes uses 8th note om phas, rather than the quarter notes which were the case in every rag I can remember ever playing.

Oddly enough, after days of work on an orchestral piece for coloratura, piano, flute and orchestra, I had just opened a raggish piece based on tunes from My Fair Lady to work on.

I tried downloading the file in both Opera and Firefox, and it worked both times. So I guess the link is alive.

all best,
