Magnolia Rag - Damon Carmona - Ragtime Intermezzo Piano Solo

Another Damon Camona original composition for you all today! "Magnolia Rag" is more of a 'rag intermezzo' and is a companion piece to the much-lauded "Sassafras Rag" that I recorded a few months ago (link to that below.) Both were written when the composer was just 16 and are excellent examples of his developing style (see "Mupus" and "Gargoyles" for more recent works). Enjoy! 🌸
Other pieces by Damon that I've recorded:
Sassafras Rag: • Sassafras Rag - Damon ...
Mupus, A Ragtime Two-Step: • "MUPUS" A Ragtime Two...
Gargoyles Rag: • Gargoyles Rag by Damon...
Le Cirque Waltz: • "Le Cirque" - Damon Ca...

Okay, well, if you insist 😅. My yearly Sousa duet is coming next week!

[@frederickbrodie261]

I really like this one! It captures the spirit of the classic rags without copying them.

[@ChristinaPepper]

Absolutely, and couldn't agree more 🎵

[@MadWhiskeyGrin]

Oo, love that vest!

[@golanhalima]

I love Damon Carmona music, and I know it because of your KZbin channel. The Mupus Rag was the one that caught my attention. Excellent performance. I only wish you will play my Rags like this one day.

[@lesliefoster9827]

A lively tune to to add to my repeat playlist of your music. Wonderful!

[@ChristinaPepper]

Definitely a worthy addition! 🎹

[@raymondbiller2257]

Very nice.

[@PiotrBarcz]

The youtube algorithm summoned your channel to my recommended page xD Nice playing as always!

[@ChristinaPepper]

Thanks for listening, Frank 😊

@@ChristinaPepper You’re welcome! Thanks for performing!

[@allspice55]

Very nice entertainment! It would be easy to get the impression that you never make a mistake!

[@ChristinaPepper]

It's good to hear that I exhibit that kind of confidence, but I definitely make mistakes! 😅 I usually do multiple takes for each video and keep the best one (also for this piece specifically I learned the music wrong in a couple spots and had to re-do the whole recording!)

[@flyurway]

How does a 16 yo kid write stuff like that anyway? I'll bet he couldn't play it as well though, huh?! 😁

[@ChristinaPepper]

He's mentioned to me that it was basically from being completely immersed in the style at the expense of having any social life. 😄 Being a very introverted teen myself, I can relate!

[@flyurway]

@@ChristinaPepper Well I can relate to not having a life - social or otherwise! 😂🤣
