Scott Joplin - Stoptime Rag • Style: Stop-Time Rag • Year: 1910 • Form: A A B B A C C D D E E D F F G G • Keys: C/Am/C... • Successfully expanding on an experiment originally tried in 1902 in The Ragtime Dance, this piece consists almost entirely of riffs with breaks that are accentuated by the pianist's foot stomping throughout. The header reads, 'To get the desired effect of Stoptime the pianist should stamp the heel of one foot heavily upon the floor, wherever the word Stamp appears in the music.', which is essentially every beat. The exception to the stoptime pattern is the C section, which provides a break from the breaks and some forward motion as well. Among included anomalies in contrast to his other rags are the tempo indication of fast or slow, that the piece is entirely in the key of C with only a brief flirtation with relative A minor, and that seven of the eight sections (excluding the C strain) are only eight measures in length instead of the requisite sixteen. With repeats, it is still nearly as long as his other pieces, and certainly just as fascinating.
