Joplin - The Cascades

Scott Joplin insisted his rags should not be played too fast. Even at a moderate tempo, the stride left hand parts pose the challenge of how to move from the lower octaves to the higher chords accurately.

I explore this subject fully in my video, as well as offering some pedalling suggestions.
