"Do not play this piece fast. It is never right to play Ragtime fast."
The song is "A Real Slow Drag" from TREEMONISHA . It requires a midi compatible plug-in, such as LiveAudio.
In the March 5, 1908 issue of the New York Age, an article in the theater section appeared, titled "Composer of Ragtime Now Writing Opera." The composer was the King of Ragtime himself, Scott Joplin, and the opera was to be his crowning achievement and masterwork, TREEMONISHA (libretto).
