Greenwich Witch (Zez Confrey's Novelty Piano Solo) Played By Vincent Johnson

Descargar vídeo Duración: 2:12

This is Zez Confrey's 1921 Novelty Piano Solo Greenwich Witch published by Jack Mills. This video is me practicing my unperfect and unfinished arrangement - I'm working on this piece and have a few months of practicing before I plan to perform it. I know there are numerous mistakes and pauses - I will eventually post a better version of this (sometime within the next two months) Zez Confrey was one of the few novelty pianists to have many successful pieces (Kitten on the Keys, Dizzy Fingers, Stumbling, etc.) and this lesser played novelty borrows a lot from his more famous Kitten On The Keys. Many novelties such as this one used KOTK's popular rag progression while keeping the treble busy with riff based novelty fun. Other examples of rags that borrow from the KOTK framework are Mah Jong by Sid Reinherz, Upright And Grand by Frank Banta and Peter De Rose and Nickel in the Slot by Zez Confrey. Enjoy the video - and look forward to more novelty videos coming soon.
