Comme beaucoup de gens, je me suis intéressé au ragtime en tant que forme artistique grâce à Joshua Rifkin et ses interprétations de la musique de Scott Joplin. En 1971, après divers projets communs au Royaume-Uni, un ami américain m'envoya un exemplaire des Collected Piano Works (oevres complètes pour piano) de Joplin, tout juste publiées. Quelque temps après, au cours d'un voyage en Australie, un ami pourvu d'une immense collection de disques me fit écouter des enregistrements de rags et de musique de style ' stride '. C'est ainsi que je découvris l'incomparable James P. Johnson interprétant, entre autres, Mule-Walk Stomp et The Carolina Shout.Mon initiation fit un bond en avant quand je fis la connaissance de William Albright. Son disque Ragtime Back to Back, enregistré avec William Bolcom, avait déclenché en moi une admiration passionnée. Non seulement Bill Albright me donna la partition de sa Grand Sonata in Rag (Jobert-Paris, 1974) que j'avais eu le plaisir d'entendre auparavant, mais il me fournit aussi des copies de ses transcriptions d'anciens enregistrements de ' strides ' figurant sur le disque mentionné ci-dessus. À Terre-Neuve, un passionné de ragtime me fit écouter des enregistrements de Max Morath et de sa musique. Je pris contact avec le compositeur qui eut la gentillesse de m'envoyer la partition de Polyragmic. Récemment, j'ai travaillé les magnifiques rags de William Bolcom (Complete Rags for Piano, Edward B. Marks MusicCompany), superbement enregistrés par John Murphy (Albany).Ainsi, après avoir joué Joplin, Albright et Morath au fil des années et maintenant, certains rags de Bolcom, le temps me semblait venu de m'y essayer à mon tour. Voici le résultat de cette aventure. Ces pièces, écrites en janvier et février 2012 pour mes amis du Gers, sont présentées ici dans l'ordre de leur composition. Sainte -Christie et Caillavet sont deux petits villages perchés sur des collines, avec vue sur les Pyrénées. Pavie, près d'Auch, est le site du Château Monlaur. Mon épouse et moi résidons à Caillavet. Les deux derniers rags ont été composéspour nos voisins.Pour finir, un conseil de Scott Joplin : ' C'est toujours une erreur de jouer le ragtime vite.

For Fingerstyle Guitar. Par GROSSMAN STEFAN. Ragtime is in many ways the quintessential American music. It arrived at the turn of the last century with many transitions, notably the discovery of the means to record sound, and the determination of Afro-Americans of genius to be appreciated as artists. The music we call ragtime represents not only a moment of great anticipation (as the advent of jazz was on hand) but also of fulfillment. There are perhaps, 200 classic ragtime pieces that represent a corpus of extraordinary beauty - some of the most straightforward, melodious, and out and out joyful music that there ever was. In the early 1960?s guitar players started to tackle arranging this music. David Laibman and Dave Van Ronk were in the vanguard of this movement. Van Ronk?s arrangement of St. Louis Tickle became a rite of passage for fingerstyle guitarists. Laibman?s arrangements of Scott Joplin?s classic rags amazed and challenged the fingerpickers from coast to coast and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. By the 1970s other guitarists tried their skills playing ragtime. In the last fifty years this pursuit has carried on. This collection presents eight outstanding guitarists and their approaches to arranging and playing cake walks and classic rags. Tackling the material in this collection will greatly help your development and mastery of the fretboard and what Rev. Gary Davis called your six-string piano. Both your hands will get a complete aerobic workout! An audio download link is included with performances of each title. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Recueil / Guitare
