The Syncopated Piano - A Performance by Sam Post

In this concert I'll take you along for my journey of rhythmic discovery at the piano. I'll show how I came to find and compose in America's first popular syncopated genre (ragtime) and apply its lessons back to the music of Bach and more.

The concert will be a bit of an audience-chosen adventure: I'll play a few pieces in different styles and ask what you would like to explore more of, whether it's original music, music for one-hand piano, Syncopated Bach, or improvisations. Come along for this fun ride with me!

Some possible selections:
from the Well-"Tampered" Clavier (Preludes and Fugues by Bach arranged in syncopated style):
C minor, F sharp major, D major, B major
More Bach: Goldberg Variations (excerpts) or Two-part Inventions
Post - Tango Toccata, O'Carolan's Dream, Leapfrog Rag, and Etude for the Left Hand Alone, and more
Improvisations on suggestions from the audience
