I happen to come across this today and impressed with the nuances you all put into this ... The clarity in the Viola, the personality of the Cellist, and both violins giving those hints of Rubato ... I was working on this for a short time, but my Duo Partner decided to delete it from our repertoire .... She just felt her piano part was going to take TOO much time to master and we have hundreds of other songs on the Playlist ...

I had a quartet member (not from this quartet) once tell me that this arrangement was found second among the three rags. I’m curious as to which rag comes first, as the piano version of this one does in the original set. I believe that the original order, with Poltergeist in the middle, makes the most sense because it is the fastest and most technically advanced of the three rags. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
