Turpin was the first African-American to have ragtime music published, and this tune dates back to 1903. A detached style throughout along with exaggerated dynamics and accents make this piece great fun to perform, as well as an audience-pleaser. For intermediate to advanced players.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstrumentation: 4 C flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contrabass flute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Falls House Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46967768219942,"sku":"9781491106853","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009781491106853_d.jpg?v=1697495382","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/turpin-t-st-louis-rag","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
