	Classic Rag - Definition, explanation
		Classic Rag (or classical ragtime) is a term used to describe the style of ragtime composition pioneered by Scott Joplin and the Missouri school of ragtime composers.
		The term "classic" was first applied to these compositions by Joplin's publisher, John Stark, as a way to distinguish them from what he considered the "common" rags of other publishers, but today the term is often used to describe a particular structural form used in ragtime composition.
		The "classic rag" form can thus be considered the typical form of a ragtime piano composition, though it is by no means the only form.

		As a result, classic rags are generally referred to as those published by Stark, Joplin and another composer, May Aufderheide who referred to her own Joplin inspired works as "classic" rags.

	Perfessor Bill Edwards - Classic Ragtime Composers
		One of the more innovative techniques used in Scott rag interpretations, and one that exists in at least a couple piano rolls of the era, is to play the first two sections somewhat sedately, followed by an increase of fifteen or so metronome ticks and greater dynamics in the C and D sections.
		The association of the music with the rag's title is unclear, and may have just been a name floating around in his head, although the cover was obviously done specifically for this rag.

		Gimpy is misrepresenting the disc when he says "many of the pieces do not even remotely follow the classic rag form-some on this disc are seven or even ten minutes long"--exactly ONE piece is 10 minutes long, one is seven, one is six; and the remaining 15 are less than 5 minutes each.
		Joplin is great--Ive taught Joplin rags here in my music theory classes at Hong Kong Baptist University for 17 years--but hes not the end of the road when it comes to rags; instead, hes at the beginning.
		Unlike such delightful modern rags as Bolcoms "Graceful Ghost," Glenn Jenkss "Harbour Rag," or Max Moraths "One For Amelia," which are recognizeable as ragtime, most of the pieces on this disc bear very little resemblance to the ragtime I know.

		The Tanglefoot Rag is a classic rag that has a wonderful melody and brings to mind the works of Joplin, Scott and Lamb.
		This rag is one of the lasting favorites of ragtime players and midi producers, you can find many references to it on the net.

		Bill then switched to the Classic Rag mode with one of the last handful of intricate rags by James Scott, the "Rag Sentimental" from 1918, a piece that uses the minor tonality in interesting ways.

	Ragtime: Hollywood Park Smokestack Rag (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This 'classic' piano rag tells the story of one of my earliest recollections, that of going to the Hollywood Park racetrack as a small child with my dad.
		There were two massive smokestacks that whistled high-pitched bursts that were a half-tone different and were slightly out of alignment, so that they would "sing" a pattern in and out of syncopation.
		This is the inspiration for this rag, and the theme of the smokestacks is followed throughout the piece.
