Tattered melody Rag (1910)...Hilda Ossusky

[Steve Harrison]

This is a cleverly written composition by a composer of whom little is known. It was a challenge to work out an arrangement suitable for the banjo but I'm pleased with the result. The piano score was in Eb/Cm, I've arranged it in C/Am to better suit the banjo.Bars 69-76 are a little tricky to play but I've added my usual annotation as I play them and they should be easy enough to follow. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.

This is a really good rag and deserves your excellent arrangement.

Well done!

Thanks Marc, it's a pity Ossusky didn't publish more of her work, from the quality of this composition, she must have been a talented musician....Steve.
