By Various. By Scott Joplin. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Ragtime. Score and parts. 17 pages. Derek Hasted #774781. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1174620).Scott Joplin - THE EASY WINNERS - 3 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLE
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "This well-known piece is presented here as a very accessible guitar trio for an early-intermediate group of three guitars, or a large ensemble, making it ideal for a School Concert or as a crowd-pleaser in an adult concert.
Guitar 3 has the bottom string tuned down to D, and the parts increase very slightly in complexity between the third part and the tune.
The music is free from fingerings so that a more experienced ensemble can play the melody entirely in VII position, whereas a less experienced group might want to stay in lower positions where possible.
By the same token, there are no dynamics - but please add as many as you wish, to make the performance “yours”.
“The Easy Winners” might not be the first Scott Joplin Rag to reach the tip of your tongue (I’ve also arranged The Entertainer), but many feel it is one of his very finest.
I hope you enjoy this piece!"
