A Black Bawl (1905)....Harry. C. Thompson.

[Steve Harrison]

This is described by the composer as a slow drag and to my ears, it's very Joplinesque in style. I've set the speed at what I think is about right. In some of the recording I've heard, the ragtime pianists seem to be suffering from the same disease as some bluegrass players with an uncontrollable desire to play everything at mach 2. There's a key change from C to A flat which gives the tune a lift. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.
