Programme note
I first came across Scott Joplin's rags when a friend in Johannesburg gave me a copy of Joshua Rifkin's fairly new vinyl release. Sometime in the mid-2000s we stayed on a friend's game farm 'Golden Ears' near the Kruger National Park in South Africa, and someone suggested that the farm should have a song name for it. My long-standing passion for ragtime found an outlet in this homage to Joplin, with a reference to Schubert in the Trio section.
