Bohemia Rag, by Joseph Lamb (1919)

This rag was Joseph Lamb's last published rag in 1919 (by Stark publishing). By then the ragtime craze was over. Few people had realized how Lamb's rags had evolved. I find that Bohemia has a peculiar flavor to it : it's young, fun, even playful, and yet it still harbors much of the wistfulness for which Lamb's music is known. The three-note motif in the last strain is iterated many, many times over so that the joyous melody gains an urgent, almost frantic quality. I am a self taught pianist and started playing about five years ago.
