Topic: Ragtime on the Bluethner

I composed Reflection Rag in the summer of 1988. I finally recorded it today - on the Bluethner using one of the Recording presets that combines close and far miking. I have substituted a big church 4 sec reverb (mixed in very gently) that was imported from Sonnox Oxford. I may try some other pianos and presets and reverbs but at the moment am pretty happy with this mix. Always enjoy getting your feedback.

Greetings from California.

”composed Reflection Rag in the summer of 1988”. Well, what a good decision to record it - very good. Like it. Little things make the music swing….especially the second part from 1,20….and those Highlights/culminations at 2,04 and 2,20! wow! And nice sound. I always like Bluethner.
Besides being enjoyable, your music inspires me to practise/compose more.
Thank you!

Re: Ragtime on the Bluethner

Such a beautiful slow rag!

I’ve always been fearful of trying to compose a rag, because the territory is so well trod.
But there are lots of wonderful, creative details in this one.
Thanks, George.
