The Storm King March-Galop - E.T. Paull (1902) Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2025-08-22 | The Storm King March-Galop, composed by E.T. Paull in 1902, for piano solo.It's been some time since I recorded a Paull march, and what a way to gloriously return to them! This one is specifically titled a "March-Galop" giving it a faster than usual tempo, and includes a dramatic introduction with weather descriptions as the Storm King approaches. **You can turn on the subtitles to see those as they appear in the sheet music** (Paull also encourages the performer to skip the intro if they don't think they can render it accurately/effectively enough, so you'll have to judge for yourselves if I pulled it off.) And quite by accident, it was a very warm day when I recorded so my fan is on full blast which only adds to the ambiance 🌩️This video was commissioned by one of my supporters over on Ko-fi.

The Possums Wish, Intermezzo - Damon Carmona (2005) Classical Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2025-07-25 | Ragtime composer Damon Carmona (of "Mupus", "Gargoyles", "Open Da Night" and many others) had a brief dabble with classical music composition at the request of a friend back in 2005. I am delighted to be the one to debut: "The Possum's Wish", an intermezzo. Though the name is whimsical, the music provides a deep feeling of melancholy, a sense of loss at what can never be interspersed with fleeting moments of agitated frivolity, before settling back into a simple and familiar sadness.Most importantly, it leads to the ever-present and oft-asked question, "What *does* a possum wish for?" 💫 You can find all of Damon's music that I've recorded in this handy playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFHDKKPaUovi2jn3HeWRnO4TplLgkHqLo (Mostly ragtime, one waltz, and now an intermezzo!)☕ If you enjoyed this video or have made use of my piano accompaniment tracks, consider supporting me over on my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/christinapepper You can leave a tip, commission me to record piano solos or accompaniment, buy digital music, CD's, and sheet music in my shop, or join my new monthly membership tiers! 💲 Drop a dollar or two into my Virtual Tip Jar on Venmo: @Christina-Austin-Piano📘 Follow me on Facebook here! facebook.com/ChristinaPepperPiano📸 Instagram: instagram.com/pepper_thyme🧵 Threads: threads.net/@pepper_thyme🟢 Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0aTKRkYy44lWz6lZqUZQil#piano #pianosolo #classicalpiano

The former has a charming simplicity about it that will transport you straight to the barnyard, whereas "The Folly" is brash, rambunctious, and gives off those 'saloon piano' vibes. It was also inspired by Moore's Folly, an eccentric 19th-century mansion on Church St. in Lynchburg, VA.

The Belle of Chicago March - John Philip Sousa (1892) Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2025-04-18 | The Belle of Chicago March by John Philip Sousa, composed in 1892.Today's video is a piano solo arrangement (by an unknown arranger) of a Sousa march that apparently received some criticism in it's time. One quote from a reporter at the time read: “Mr. Sousa evidently regards the Chicago belle as a powerful creature, with the swinging stride of a giant, a voice like a foghorn, and feet like sugar-cured hams.” (From Paul E. Bierley's 1984 "The Works of John Philip Sousa.") The piano solo version isn't much better with some robust LH octaves in the final strain, but is still quite a nice march if you ignore how 'un-dainty' it is 😄This piece was commissioned by John McDonnell who has a website dedicated to Sousa and other composers of the period: angelfire.com/ks/landzastanza/pianomusic.html#01 Enjoy! ☕ If you enjoyed this video or have made use of my piano accompaniment tracks, consider supporting me over on my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/christinapepper You can leave a tip, commission me to record piano solos or accompaniment, buy digital music, CD's, and sheet music in my shop, or join my new monthly membership tiers! 💲 Drop a dollar or two into my Virtual Tip Jar on Venmo: @Christina-Austin-Piano📘 Follow me on Facebook here! facebook.com/ChristinaPepperPiano📸 Instagram: instagram.com/pepper_thyme🧵 Threads: threads.net/@pepper_thyme🟢 Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0aTKRkYy44lWz6lZqUZQil#piano #pianosolo #johnphilipsousa
Euphonic Sounds, A Syncopated Two-Step by Scott Joplin (1909) Ragtime Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2025-04-04 | Euphonic Sounds, A Syncopated Two-Step by Scott Joplin, composed in 1909Today's video is one of Joplin's lesser-played pieces, and a departure from any of his previous works, opting to sub-title it with "A Syncopated Two-Step", rather than calling it a rag. (It has plenty of syncopation but almost none of the typical left hand stride patterns of ragtime.)

Her Grace, The Duchess At the Kings Court by John Philip Sousa (1905) Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2025-01-24 | "Her Grace, The Duchess" from the suite "At the King's Court" by John Philip Sousa. Composed in 1905 and arranged for piano solo by Charles Kunkel. I'm excited to finally share this piece; it's been quite the undertaking! Sousa composed this suite for band in 1905, consisting of three movements: "Her Ladyship, the Countess," "Her Grace, the Duchess," and "Her Majesty, the Queen." He then commissioned Charles Kunkel, a famous pianist, arranger, and music publisher, to arrange "At the King's Court" for piano. The arrangements are not one to one transcriptions and stand on their own as solos, with added embellishments and some artistic license taken to make them more pianistic ("Her Grace" is essentially a waltz with variations on the main theme.)This piece was commissioned by John McDonnell who has a website dedicated to Sousa and other composers of the period: angelfire.com/ks/landzastanza/pianomusic.html#01 Enjoy! 👑☕ If you enjoyed this video or have made use of my piano accompaniment tracks, consider supporting me over on my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/christinapepper You can leave a tip, commission me to record piano solos or accompaniment, buy digital music, CD's, and sheet music in my shop, or join my new monthly membership tiers! 💲 Drop a dollar or two into my Virtual Tip Jar on Venmo: @Christina-Austin-Piano📘 Follow me on Facebook here! facebook.com/ChristinaPepperPiano📸 Instagram: instagram.com/pepper_thyme🧵 Threads: threads.net/@pepper_thyme🟢 Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0aTKRkYy44lWz6lZqUZQil#piano #pianomusic #pianosolo

Lady With the Red Dress Rag - Robert OBrien (1900) Ragtime Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2025-01-10 | Lady With the Red Dress Ragtime March, composed by Robert O'Brien in 1900.A very early rag today from the composer of "Rag Pickers Rag". "Lady With the Red Dress" was probably O'Brien's first composition and written when he was fairly young; one review stated he was 17 at the time, though that number doesn't seem to line up with his apparent birth year.

Minuet in G - Bach/Petzold Arr. by Edward MacDowell - Classical Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2024-11-30 | Returning to some classical fundamentals today, but with a twist! The famous Minuet in G Major and Minuet in G minor have long been attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, appearing in the 1725 "Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach" which was compiled by Bach and his wife. It wasn't until the 1970's that it was discovered that these were actually the works of German composer and organist Christian Petzold. In 1890 (and unbeknownst to him at the time) Edward MacDowell released the collection: "Six Little Pieces by J. S.

The Lost Rag - Herbert Ingraham (1909) Ragtime Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2024-11-08 | The Lost Rag by Herbert Ingraham, composed in 1909.Herbert Ingraham was another promising ragtime composer who died too soon, but left us with many high-quality rags, especially in 1909 the year before his death. "The Lost Rag" begins in a normal Ingraham fashion until we get to the Trio and things shift - the feel becomes more grandiose, the melody switches from normal syncopation to large rolled chords and there's a building momentum that happens in the LH. I'm not certain if the 'lost' part of the title refers to this sudden shift or something else, but even if it's not your cup of tea it's worth a listen for the novelty!You can read more about Ingraham on Bill Edwards excellent ragtime resource website:http://www.perfessorbill.com/ragtime4.shtml This video was commissioned by a supporter over on my Ko-fi page; enjoy! 🎶Other rags by this composer that I've recorded:Hot Tamale Man Rag: youtu.be/u-dnx8h0uT4St. Vitus Dance Rag: youtu.be/EvLKZFI_FGc☕ If you enjoyed this video or have made use of my piano accompaniment tracks, consider supporting me over on my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/christinapepper You can leave a tip, commission me to record piano solos or accompaniment, buy digital music, CD's, and sheet music in my shop, or join my new monthly membership tiers! 💲 Drop a dollar or two into my Virtual Tip Jar on Venmo: @Christina-Austin-Piano📘 Follow me on Facebook here! facebook.com/ChristinaPepperPiano📸 Instagram: instagram.com/pepper_thyme🧵 Threads: threads.net/@pepper_thyme🟢 Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0aTKRkYy44lWz6lZqUZQil#ragtime #ragtimepiano #pianosolo

The Cauldron Rag - Axel Christensen (1909) Ragtime Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2024-10-26 | The Cauldron Rag, composed by Axel Christensen in 1909 😈This week's video (and the second of my October spooky syncopations!) is by none other than the 'Czar of Ragtime' himself. He's most well-known for the Christensen School of Popular Music which he founded to teach the fundamentals of syncopated music. Upwards of 500,000 students enrolled in the program before it began to taper off during the Great Depression. His magazine, the "Ragtime Review," had a successful 4-year run before being bought out and helped to promote his instructional guides and school. I've also played around with some different camera angles, transitions and such for this latest video, so let me know what you all think! Hope you enjoy listening! 🎼💀 In the mood for more spooky tunes?

Open Da Night - Damon Carmona (2023) Ragtime Piano Solo Christina Pepper 2024-10-12 | Another Damon Carmona original for you all this day, and this one comes with a story:"This sultry 2023 rag was inspired by Café Olimpico, an iconic coffee shop at the corner of Waverly and St. Viateur in Montreal's Mile End neighborhood. A sign over the door originally read "OPEN DAY & NIGHT", but at some point, the "Y" and "&" fell off and the establishment acquired the nickname "Open Da Night" by which it has been known ever since."A fitting tribute, and full of that signature Carmona ragtime style you've come to expect.
