Scott Joplin - Antoinette Style: March and Two Step Year: 1906 Form: Intro A A B B C D C D C Keys: G/G/C... "While most people who know about Scott Joplin are certainly aware of his magnificent opera Treemonisha, few are aware that he may have written or sketched out at least one or more earlier attempts. There were mentions in documents of record during the early 1900s that Joplin had been working on an opera called A Guest of Honor, dated around 1902. The disposition of the score has been disputed, including some recent claims that it was in one or another person's posession, or that Joplin had left it in a trunk in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (or was it Pittsburg, Kansas). Music historian Ed Berlin, in his definitive scholarly book on Joplin, King of Ragtime, suggests the possibility that the opera concerned the legendary 1901 visit of Booker T. Washington to the White House to meet and dine with President Theodore Roosevelt, something that left southern whites feeling disenfranchised, and creating quite a regional controversy. Joplin's admiration for Washington's focus of forwarding the black cause through education is strongly reflected as the backbone of Treemonisha as well. Berlin also suggests a plausible possibility that Antoinette was constructed from a portion of A Guest of Honor. It may have been taken from individual themes or a central piece that stayed with the composer until he felt the desire to publish it. The inscription within dedicates it to a Marie Antoinette Williams A 6/8 march, it in no way translates like the military or band marches of the time. When I first heard the Labeque Sisters recording of the piece in 1983, I was uncertain of their interpretation of the piece which is played rather slowly. However, after having worked through it at various speeds, I have found that a slightly relaxed tempo seems to favor a better performance and help to sustain the lovely melodic lines more effectively. So please be MY guest of honor as we appreciate this often neglected work together."
