â??Ragtime Bluesâ? first appeared in Mike Cornickâ??s â??Piano Ragtimeâ? ( UE30413 ) which was published in 1997. This piece became very popular and featured on piano syllabuses in the UK and Australia. It encouraged Mike Cornick to write eight more pieces in similar styles. The result was an album of refreshing new compositions at a medium level of difficulty. Among them are two arrangements for solo piano:â??Waltz for Lauraâ? and â??Be-Bopâ? â?? two pieces originally written for piano four hands. They first appeared in 1995 in the edition â??Easy Jazzy Duetsâ? ( UE16577 ). With this volume Mike Cornick once again proves his sense for good playable literature that is fun for audience and performers alike.
