The short film explores MoMA’s expansive early film collection, and the director wanted a piece that sounded like something out of the ragtime period. Inspired by the classic sounds of Joplin, this piece uses several techniques familiar in ragtime style but with more-modern harmonies as well as jazz and blues influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🎵 About this piece:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ragtime \/ early jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedagogical focus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stride technique, syncopation, and steady rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExploration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ragtime feel with modern harmonies and a touch of jazz and blues color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScan and Play:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scan QR code for MP3 recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📚 Perfect for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermediate students exploring classic and modern ragtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort recital pieces that impress with rhythmic flair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching stride piano and stylistic articulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e🎵 Listen to this piece:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 14px 0; padding: 12px; background: #f8f8f8; border-radius: 10px;\" class=\"single-audio\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eRagtime (Recording)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003caudio style=\"width: 100%;\" preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\"\u003e\n    \u003csource type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/3403\/6015\/files\/Ragtime.mp3?v=1760901557\"\u003e\n    Your browser does not support the audio element.\n  \u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My-Melodies.com","offers":[{"title":"Studio License (PDF Digital Download)","offer_id":51944383316271,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/3403\/6015\/files\/Ragtime-Letter_page-0001.jpg?v=1760901669","url":"https:\/\/www.my-melodies.com\/products\/ragtime","provider":"My-Melodies.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
