You know, we haven't featured any ragtime here at Wenatchee The Hatchet in a while. We gotta fix that. So here we go.
Hamelin isn't always playing piano sonatas by Medtner or Kapustin. :)
Someone got the Hamelin set of Bolcom's rags and while I haven't blogged about Bolcom that I can recall I wanted to share some of the fun on a sunny and muggy Seattle weekend.
Doing a ragtime variation of the end of Haydn's "Joke" quartet is a pretty sweet finishing touch.
