Rodeo Rag [Alf:00-37594]

Beginning students can experience the fun of ragtime with this delightful solo written in G major and 4/4 meter. The left hand contains an accessible accompaniment that keeps all of the intervals within the range of a fifth and moves between C major, G major, and D minor 5-finger patterns. The single-line melody is syncopated and occasionally harmonized with intervals and triads in the right hand. It is then repeated in the left hand. "This piece is a great supplemental work full of energy and spunk!" -Jean Ritter, Progressions Magazine
