Product Description

How do you keep practice from becoming humdrum?

This arrangement explores chromatic and other improvisations, and was written to develop L.H. strength and technique. Once you get tired of it, I have also posted another version, "Maple Leaf Rag Etude II", which has a more developed chordal structure.

If you listen to Scott Joplin's own recordings, he doesn't play his pieces exactly the same way each time, and maybe there's a good reason! So, here's Maple Leaf with some suggestions for development through each repeated strain, and how to add some bounce to your "stride". If you can play the original; you can easily play this one, and even start adding your own improvisations!

I look forward to hearing from you at my e-mail: klazzkeys@aol.com
