QUOTE:
"No artist is pleased...there is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a strange, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that
keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others."
AUTHOR: Martha Graham
"An artist is never satisfied with his/her art. The
pleasure the artists gets is in the act of striving
for the perfection that will never be realized."

THE ENTERTAINER
(From a Piano Roll)
Those paper rolls were some kind
of forerunners for juke-boxes.
They were often used in the
penny-in-the-slot player pianos.
"The Entertainer" (1902) is a classic melodic and
rhythmic piano rag written in the jazz idiom of
ragtime, a style to which Scott Joplin is perhaps
the man most responsible and best known for.
It is sub-titled "A rag time two step," which was a
form of dance popular until about 1911 (and a
style which was common among rags written at
the time) with a musical structure:
Intro AA BB A CC Intro 2 DD.
While ragtime began as
a piano style, it was soon
arranged for numerous
musical ensembles and
became very popular
for the American music
of its day.

Instrumental Version
from "The Sting"
Marvin Hamlisch, Arranger
(and consequently a revival of his
other compositions) was made
popular in our time by its use in the 1973
Oscar-winning motion picture "The Sting,"
with a score adapted from the music
of Joplin by Marvin Hamlisch.
The tune became so popular it even
hit on the pop music charts. This new
interest in Joplin's music won so much belated
recognition that a special award was bestowed
posthumously, in Joplin's Bicentennial Year,
for his contributions to American music.
