This song is in the ragtime style, popular in the early 1900s. It was intended to be a serious form of music with dynamics and phrasing. It became a popular style played as fast as possible in saloons and theaters. Play this piece as ragtime was originally intended to be played with expression and at a moderate tempo until the final repeat, where it starts slow and accelerates. Change the dynamics when a section is immediately repeated to give variation. Tempo changes can also be a great form of expression (and more dynamic). Watch the fingering in the left hand and continue throughout. Practice the jumps without looking to learn how they feel. Bars 6, 8, and 9 are arpeggios on the fully diminished chord. Also, notice in bar 5 it changes to the E flat minor, which is the parallel minor, meaning it keeps the same name but has a different key signature. That is why there are G flats.

This piano song for the early advanced pianist is called Slash chords because it includes slash chords, which is a chord with a different bass other than the 1 of the chord. The chord name is to the left of the / symbol and the bass note is to the right. This is a great improvisational tool and can be used as a walking bass. Notice the chords labeled.

This piano song for the early advanced students have lots of triplets against even notes. Play with as much rubato as you wish and with many expressions. This song does not end on the I chord like most songs. The F minor chord is the ii chord. However, the chord leading up to the last chord is a C7, which is a mock V to i, making it sound like an ending chord. Practice bar 14 to make those notes smooth.

In this piano song for the early advanced student, drag the quarter triplets and make sure they are even. Make a nice building effect from bar 9 through bar 10 by increasing the volume and speed (accel). Watch the fingering in bar 10, where the 5th finger slides from the B flat to B natural. Even though there's a ritardando at the end of bar 10, don't pause before going back to the sign; doing this help to continue the musical direction.

This piano song for the early advanced student includes various kinds of triplets against even notes, like 2 against 3 and 3 against 4. Make sure to play them as the notes line up. Watch the fingering in measure 3, where your thumb plays both the A flat and B flat. The left-hand quarter triplets in measures 2 and 11 are meant to be stressed to echo the right-hand quarter triplets. Measure 9 has the most challenge with the 4 sixteenths against the eighth triplet, so take time to practice that measure repeatedly and line up the eighth triplets with the sixteenth notes. The last measure has 8 against 3 (8 sixteenths against the 3 quarter triplets).
