Looked like a fun piece to play, but more ragtime and ode.

This was great! People shouldn't have an issue with a classical piece being played in other styles. The only requirement is to do them well - and this one was excellent.

that use classical and opera themes. It was quite popular back when ragtime was that "devil music" to take well known classical music and opera and turn them into ragtime arrangements.
