Peacherine Rag 
Cory Hall, pianist

The "Peacherine Rag" is an early piano rag (his first solo rag released after the benchmark Maple Leaf Rag from 18 months prior) written in 1901 by Scott Joplin. A peacherine is a hybrid between a peach and a nectarine, making this one of many rags by the composer with a botanical name. Although not labelled as such, the Peachine Rag is a simple ragtime two-step which was a popular type of dance. A happy rag with a definitive bounce to it from the start, it begins in the key of E-flat with an unassuming four-bar introduction and builds gradually in intensity, ending in the related key of A-flat. The smoother trio has some elements in it that foreshadow blues playing a decade or more later, including a neat little triplet figure and near-walking bass line. The bounce returns in the elegantly simple final section.
