I think you could argue that this sounds better than the piano version because there is so much you can do with the variety of sounds (timbres), granted it is a technical challenge for you, but also a sonic challenge deciding how you vary the sound with so much at your disposal! This is another example of how an arrangement can change your view of a piece, I hope you continue with the idea using ever more stops!
I like to think that if Joplin had an organ, instead of a piano, he would have taken advantage of the organ's "variety of sounds." Also, I have the advantage of foot pedals to play bass notes, instead of having to use my left pinky, then quickly moving to hit the chords.
Oh this is wonderful! Magnetic Rag is definitely my fave. I love the minor key middle section. One of the things I love about organ versions is the amazing bass sounds that you just can't get any other way.
Thanks--nice comments. It's good to be able to play the bass notes with my feet, rather than the left pinky on the piano. I love Joplin, but this may be my last one, just as it was for him.
Me encantó cómo usted arregló la última parte de Magnetic Rag, me pareció como una despedida de Scott al Ragtime, ya que este fue el último Rag completo que publicó. Qué padre le salió a usted caray!!
