David Laibman composed this original classic rag in 2006. The full (non-teaching) version is a fourth higher: Am, C and A; I worked out this version starting in Em in order to stick as closely as possible to first position. I kept it in the classical ragtime (and march) form with four 16-bar themes, preceded by a four-bar Introduction: (Intro)AABBACCDD. You will enjoy ragtime most if you check out the structures, as well as the moods, of the pieces. Some of mine are more experimental than others, but this one fits the classical form exactly.
