Solace: A Mexican Serenade - BSN/PN

Solace

for bassoon and piano

by Scott Joplin (1868-1917) - African-American Ragtime composer, the "King of Ragtime"

Joplin's only rag-tango is a slow and melancholy piece that evokes a more gentle era. Good piece for contrast on a solo recital. Rhythm is basic (slow) ragtime but would be excellent teaching tool also for syncopation for younger soloist. Edited by Trevor Cramer.
