I will add it to my wish list of Joplin pieces to learn. _________________________ Piano obsession started November 2010. Ragtime Butcher Kayserburg U123 http://www.youtube.com/user/michaelt3032

Andy Platt 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 04/28/10 Posts: 1891 Loc: Virginia, USA	I heard this just the other day on BBC Radio 3's "Private Passions" show ... it's just wonderful. The subtitle is "A Mexican Serenade." I'm not completely sold on that because it sounds 100% Joplin but, yes, a wonderful piece. _________________________ Bach - Invention No. 6 in E major, BWV 777 Clementi - Sonatina in G Major, Op 36 No. 2 Grieg - Popular melody, Op. 12 No. 5 Kawai K3

Stubbie Full Member Registered: 12/16/10 Posts: 201 Loc: Midwest USA	Solace is a nice one, all right (and way beyond me, sad to say.) Here is a version that is quite nice, I think: Solace Mexican Serenade _________________________ Wherever you go, there you are.

Whizbang Full Member Registered: 10/27/12 Posts: 195	I wouldn't claim to know much about Mexican music of the time, but tango and habanera rhythms in new world music first showed up in Cuba and Argentina, not Mexico. Cursory googling reveals that Mexican tango dates from around 1917, which is around the end of the ragtime era. _________________________ Whizbang amateur ragtime pianist
