Composed by Donald Ashwander. Ragtime. Score. 6 pages. The Donald Ashwander Estate #886000. Published by The Donald Ashwander Estate (A0.1295702)."Business In Town" is a solo piano ragtime composition that takes the listener on a nostalgic journey back to the Great Depression era in Bessemer, Alabama. This musical piece is inspired by the childhood memories of Ashwander, who recalls spending time on his grandparent's farm during those challenging times.
The piece begins with a lively and rhythmic introduction, representing the excitement and anticipation of a young child yearning for adventure. The syncopated melodies and playful piano rhythms evoke the youthful energy and restlessness of the composer as he dreamed of escaping the farm life for the excitement of the city. The use of ragtime syncopation adds a playful and nostalgic element to the composition, evoking the spirit of the 1930s.
As the composition progresses, the listener can hear the sound of a horse's hooves and the creaking of a wagon as it embarks on its journey. The main theme of the piece, introduced by the piano, captures the bumpy and unpredictable nature of the road, with unexpected twists and turns in the melody symbolizing the potholes, ruts, rocks, and crannies that Maud (the horse) and the wagon encounter along the way.
The final page of the sheet music contains special program notes by Donald Ashwander.
