Composed by Donald Ashwander. Ragtime. Score. 6 pages. The Donald Ashwander Estate #884525. Published by The Donald Ashwander Estate (A0.1294042)."Astor Place Rag Waltz" is a delightful solo piano piece that seamlessly weaves together the spirit of ragtime with the grace of a waltz. Its title, derived from the famous Astor Place Liquor Store, hints at the piece's spirited nature and the jovial ambiance it invokes.
This piece is dedicated to the great American jazz critic Rudi Blesh. In Ashwander's notes to the piece, he reminisces about Rudi’s ability to make the best "Stingers" he had ever tasted, with the supplies coming from the famous Astor Place Liquor Store.
This solo piano composition is a heartfelt tribute Rudi Blesh, Astor Place and the memories associated with it, making it a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the charm of ragtime music and the sentimentality of a well-told tale.
The final page of the sheet music contains special program notes by Donald Ashwander.
