Champagne Rag (1910)...Joseph Lamb

[Steve Harrison]

I reckon this is one of Lamb's best rags, it ticks all the ragtime boxes. I've transcribed it to B flat from F so as to fit in the high octave section, it also makes it comfortable to play as it fits the left hand nicely. The score and midi are in  the library...Steve.

One of my favourite rags - it's very jolly and catchy.  I have a recording of this with a trumpet player leading the tune (Easy Winner's Ragtime Band) and it always puts me in a good mood whenever I hear it.  Thanks, Steve.

Hi Carrie, are you going to give it a try?..If you find the high octave section a challenge, you can always repeat the passage in the lower octave....Steve.

Thanks for the tip, Steve.  Currently, I am inching through Grizzly Bear - as usual, the A part fooled me into thinking 'ah, this isn't too bad' and now it's become progressively more tricky!
