Talk:Maple Leaf Rag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It would be great if somebody could add links here to other ragtime pieces (if that's what you call them.) I'm not knowledgeable enough to do this myself. :)
In which video game was the piece used apart from the Bally Midway game? I'm racking my brains about it, but I can't for the life of me remember it. Can you help? -andy 80.129.92.18 00:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure about Maple Leaf, but other Joplin music, including Heliotrope Bouqet, Easy Winners, and something else I can't remember was used in the Atari 8-bit game, Clowns and Balloons. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 02:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Arresting Syncopations
In the section "Structure", it says that the syncopations were "arrestingly novel at the time", especially those coming "between the first and second strains". Is "strains" a technical term in ragtime music? I know the piece but don't know what part is referred to by this expression: that might be made clearer. Also, a period document noting that the syncopations seemed "arrestingly novel" could be cited to support this claim: the syncopations do still seem fresh nowadays, but are no longer "arrestingly novel".--70.107.173.227 17:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
