The parts for violin and cello emerge more clearly from the texture here than in other performances, and the stringed instruments add a dimension of sentiment - in turn nicely set off against big march rhythms in more propulsive pieces like Joplin's The Cascades (track 4).

And, just like the first time, the Scott Joplin tunes are terrific. Joplin and other composers often orchestrated their rags in this way, and his publisher, Missourian John Stark, issued a collection of such orchestrations under the title The Red Back Book: Standard High Class Rags.
But the average listener in the decade beginning in 1900 often heard instrumental ragtime in arrangements for small ensembles like Michigan's River Raisin Ragtime Revue, heard on this album.
