Virtual piano |

This section is a complement to the Piano rolls page and contains some of my favourite piano rags that I have
not yet been able to find as piano rolls.
Most of these pieces have been sequenced from original music scores by me but some (marked RR below) were sequenced by Raymond Robijns. If you just want to listen to a
few pieces here, choose his. They are superior in every way and couldn't have been played better by a top notch ragtime pianist.
Note: Piano roll performances - even recorded ones - were often embellished
and chords were complemented afterwards for a richer sound. This I haven't done here. All tunes are performed exactly
as written.
Click on the column title to change sort order: Year, Title or Composer.
