I can do any of the following: On your list:Maple Leaf Entertainer Solace Easy Winners Palm Leaf Fig Leaf Gladiolus Rose Leaf Not on your list:Peacherine Elite Syncopations Nonpareil "New Rag" Wall Street Rag I love the Maple Leaf, Entertainer, and Solace, but let's see who's comfortable with what, and I'll fill in a gap somewhere. I'd hate to take the Maple Leaf (et al) if someone else really wants to play it/them.  I've always wanted an excuse to learn to play the Maple leaf . I think I'm at home with the syncopation but I've no idea about the rest of it. Would it be too much of a liberty to put it on hold for today so that I can at least look at the score later this afternoon? (maybe it's been taken but I didn't spot it) edit: I see Saranoya's asking for a week. Can I do the same? No worries.. I can hold out for quite some time. As long as I have an hour or so at a keyboard, I should be able to brush up the rag of choice. It's all stuff I've played before.
Every day we are afforded a new chance. The problem with life is not that you run out of chances. In the end, what you run out of are days.

But what if they're all taken? I know you've talked about playing rags before, we'll be missing out if you're not involved.

I love Solace, but I see two people have already called dibs! So, I will take the Pleasant Moments Waltz.

I may regret this, but I'm going to chose a hard one - this will be a challenge for me...
Can I have "Fig Leaf Rag - A High Class Rag"?

I would like to sign up for Weeping Willow - although I'm not sure I can manage. Otherwise, a simplified arrangement of Maple Leaf Rag.

Oh, AimeeO claimed Solace before me! Never mind, then. Will go hunting for a new candidate tonight.
Plodding through piano music at a frustratingly slow pace since 9/2012.
Standard disclaimer: I teach many things. Piano is not one of them.

Sign me up for Solace for the time being. I want to run it by my teacher next week, but it looks doable! Gotcha! "Solace" is the piece that really got me into ragtime.

(Accidentally hit 'reply' instead of 'edit'. I wondered where that change had gone!)

Here's the better of the two that I'd found. It omits the C section and simplifies the other sections. Oh, it also moves the key signature from four flats into no sharps or flats, which is both a blessing and a curse.

It could be littered with errors, I've no idea*. Sensibly, they written it out in 4/4 so the 1/16 note becomes a 1/8. That alone would have made even the original arrangement 'easier' for beginners. *edit: no, it's fine. That's the only one...I was being lazy.

I'll take the Gladiolus Rag if it hasn't yet been claimed.
This should be quite fun.

OK, I am already being difficult. May I change from Pleasant Moments to Chrysanthemun? I did not get a chance to listen to it until this evening and I really like it much better!
