Russel Robinson and his son Etilmon J. According to Tichenor , John Stark did not intend to exploit the ragtime market of sheet music like most other publishers did: John Stark was a ragtime enthusiast who used to invest in and demand high quality music compositions for publication, considering the genre a noble art.
Around , Stark Music Company published the High-Class Standard Rags collection, which presented fifteen instrumental arrangements as individual instrumental parts, no scores included. The collection promptly gained notoriety among musicians, becoming the primary choice of classic ragtime ensemble arrangements. Today, High Class Standard Rags continues to be a reference for ragtime arrangements, playing a role as a source of repertoire for several instrumental ensembles and contributing for the revival of traditional ragtime6.
Last Testament of a great New Orleans jazz man. New Orleans: Riverside. The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra. I]: Pearl Records, RR, CD. It is likely that Stravinsky had had contact with this very collection before composing Ragtime for Eleven Instruments, and arguments are presented to justify this affirmation.
After its publication, around , High-Class Standard Rags rapidly obtained notoriety among ragtime enthusiasts, becoming an essential repertoire item of instrumental arrangements. The repertoire of the collection includes successes by canonic ragtime composers, such as Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb, and it is likely that Ansermet had delivered scores of representative names of the genre to Stravinsky. Also, the chronological interval of six years between the approximate date of publication of High-Class Standard Rags presented by ragtime scholars Schafer and Riedel and when Ansermet returned from his US trip would be sufficient for the collection to have acquired enough notoriety in the American music scene in order to lead Ansermet to get some of these instrumental parts to Stravinsky.
High-Class Standard Rags [? Although the piano is not foreseen in the instrumentation of Ragtime for Eleven Instruments, Stravinsky employs a corresponding chordophone instrument. Stravinsky purchased a cimbalom during his residence in Switzerland in World War I. Considering the presumed relationship between Ragtime for Eleven Instruments and High- Class Standard Rags, Stravinsky might have had replaced the piccolo by a french horn, which provides a more balanced woodwind-brass orchestration.
This provides more possibilities of dialogue in the middle register, while the arrangements of High-Class highlights the melodic lines especially through the OPUS v. It is relevant to notice the woodwinds in Ragtime for Eleven Instruments perform five distinct parts in several passages, while a four woodwind-voiced writing is observed in High-Class Rags notably due to the choice of the flute-piccolo doubling arrangement. Its main identifying trait is its ragged or syncopated rhythm. While today it is most commonly thought of as a piano style, during the ragtime period the term also referred to other instrumental music, to vocal music and to dance.
The best instrumental ragtime pieces manifested sophisticated musical thought and demanded considerable technical facility of a performer for their fullest realization. Ragtime songs, on the other hand, were generally less concerned with musical values, designed as they were to reach a large and undiscriminating audience BERLIN, Ragtime adapted classical concepts of form and harmony from European ballroom dances to African American rhythms.
Critics condemned the genre at the time perhaps because of its connection to cabarets and its black roots , but in Europe, it gained status as Modernist Art through the work of avant-garde composers of the time, such as Debussy and Stravinsky. SCHAFER; RIEDEL, like syncopation figurations, formal aspects, bass and accompaniment, secondary ragtime, intervallic support through tied syncopations, measure thirteen conventions, breaks, cadential gestures, and dotted rhythms.
According to the author, syncopation "is most often present in the treble melody, against a metrically accented march-accompaniment bass" Berlin divides ragtime syncopation into three categories: untied, tied and augmented syncopation. Another feature of augmented syncopation is the relation established with the harmonic accompaniment, a peculiarity that differs it from tied and untied syncopation. As reported by Berlin 83 , syncopation characterizes the main differences between the early published rags and marches.
After completing a survey of many pieces of ragtime piano, Berlin correlates historical periods of the genre to a predominant syncopation profile. According to Berlin 84 , the rags exclusively presenting untied syncopation Fig.
The author reports that the prevalence of untied syncopations is lost after the beginning of the 20th century when tied syncopations Fig.
Also, according to the author, ragtime composers never showed interest in using augmented syncopation Fig. One can observe all three syncopation types described by Berlin in Ragtime for Eleven Instruments.
