I play various musical instruments. More about this can be found on my private web-site.
Since 1993, people from my department have occasionally got together to perform concerts. For a while some of us performed ragtime and similar. I don't remember the exact details, but it all happened 1993-1995, David Edelman played piano, Bill Gibson played violin, I played tuba and sometimes Malcolm Quine played clarinet. The pieces performed included (at least):
| Composer | Piece |
|---|---|
| Scott Joplin | Elite syncopations |
| Walter Donaldson | Love me or leave me |
| Scott Joplin | The strenuous life |
In 1993 I misguidedly sang in the choir, but the less said about that the better. After that I concentrated on solo pieces:

[1] A bad move. I don't practice the guitar enough.
[2] This was intended as a warm-up, so I didn't bother with an accompanist. Didn't work though - I still fluffed the high F in the cadenza of the concerto.
[3] Only the last 20 or so bars. Tim stopped me in the corridor one day, and asked if I knew of any music for flute and tuba. This was the best I could come up with. David contributed the rest of the band via the piano.
[4] Why do the novelty pieces go over better with the audience than the serious stuff?
[5] Yes I know I did the first movement before. We felt it would be musically better to do the whole thing rather than just the second and third movements.
