Product Description

Empty Porches is a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic piece of ragtime for solo piano. Written by Donald Ashwander in 1983, this composition masterfully combines the syncopated rhythms of ragtime with a deep sense of introspection and nostalgia, creating a unique and evocative musical experience.

The inspiration for the piece came when Ashwander returned to the street where he had lived and played as a child, lamenting how no children were out playing anywhere and all you could hear was the steady hum of air conditioners and the flickering lights of the television through sealed windows.

The compositions beauty lies not only in its technical craftsmanship, but also in its ability to touch the heart and soul of the listener. This piece invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty of life's more pensive moments. The final notes of the piece fade away, like memories drifting into the past.

The final page of the sheet music contains special program notes by Donald Ashwander.
