| Product Details | Scott Joplin repeatedly emphasised that ragtime should never be played fast. This is particularly true of this splendid composition. It is a slow Tango and should be played in a lovingly, romantic manner. Any faster and the delicate melodies feel breathless and hurried. In particular, do observe the pauses carefully. Although written in 2/4 time, Solace really has a slow four beat rhythm, so count in 8th notes (quavers) Solace can be played by any number of instruments from Trio upwards. For Trios, one Melody part plus Harmony 2 are essential plus a bass part, ideally Bass 1. For Quartets, cover Melody, Harmony 1 and Harmony 2 plus a bass part, ideally Bass 1. Parts available: Melody: Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet Harmony 1: Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet Harmony 2: Bb Clarinet, Alto Saxophone Tenor: Bassoon, Tenor Saxophone Bass 1: Bass Clarinet, Bassoon Bass 2: Bassoon, Contra Alto Clarinet, Tuba |
