Jeremy Scott Olsen, "Rug Rat Rag"

Here's a little something I whipped up — just one strain of a piano rag in D. I was thinking of going all exotic or atonal on this and instead ended up trying for an absolutely typical, idiomatic rag.



Any pianists familiar with ragtime, please point out anything that doesn't sit right with you!

Yes, going exotic/atonal has been proving harder than I thought at first! Then again, typical and idiomatic is almost included in the "ragtime" description, so it would be something very hard to do. I'll try again and get back to you. Also, I'm still getting familiar with noteflight :P
