Even if the plot loses you, though (which is not hard—what little plot the thing has isn't a model of clarity) it's fascinating to hear how Joplin himself heard ragtime translating into vocal music. In the wake of the ragtime revival, we think of it as piano only, but during its time, it was as much song-based as anything.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936327293692397100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-28986583993626538212007-02-23T15:55:00.000-05:002007-02-23T15:55:00.000-05:00Joplin's great, but Treemonisha's a bit of a drag,...Joplin's great, but <I>Treemonisha's</I> a bit of a drag, no?jodruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316056147287208728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-62781341078786555362007-02-23T15:17:00.000-05:002007-02-23T15:17:00.000-05:00This is tangentially related to the post, in that ...This is tangentially related to the post, in that it falls in the good-stuff-to-hear-free category that you and your readers might be happy to know about. It also works as a silver lining to the Hatto business...<BR/><BR/>I followed Alex Ross's post this morning to the <A HREF="http://www.pristineclassical.com/HattoHoax.html" REL="nofollow">Pristine Classical Hatto Hoax page,</A> and found not only the Hatto stuff, which is interesting in a dreary way, but also a wonderful historic recording of Alfred Cortot and Jacques Thibaud the Kreutzer--a 30 minute MP3 that, for the moment, can be freely downloaded.<BR/><BR/>A little bit more about this at <A HREF="http://reharmonized.an-earful.com/2007/02/23/thibaud-cortot-kreutzer" REL="nofollow">my place.</A><BR/><BR/>A very nice blog you and yer dog have--thanks.Robert Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122995991574352039noreply@blogger.com
