Space Shuffle and Other Futuristic Rags - Piano Solos by Matthew Davidson
Cd
About
Composer/pianist Matthew Davidson performs a selection of ragtime piano pieces.
It is my arrogant opinion that Ragtime is serious music; if I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't play it. The fact that renderings of the best ragtime pieces can be on a par with the best renderings of a Chopin nocturne or a Brahms ballade is testimony to the genius of the man who elevated the genre to a stature comparable to the works of the great masters; obviously, I speak of Scott Joplin.
