Hersch says of his work: 'The inspiration for 'Saloon Songs' comes from my colorful mental images of Lower Manhattan in the early part of the 20t20th Century...'Four-Part Slow Drag' is sweet and a bit melancholy. 'The Last Call Waltz' is a darkly comic evocation of the last, slightly desperate moments of an inebriated patron's evening at a downtown saloon. And 'The Bowery Rag' is in classic ragtime form.' Intermediate level, with some 10ths in the left hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem No:\u003c\/b\u003e    98-EP68107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e    Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e    20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e    Edition Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear Published:\u003c\/b\u003e    2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"ALFRED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67732212318399,"sku":"ALF EP68107","price":23.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1335\/9063\/files\/98-EP68107.jpg?v=1792732278","url":"https:\/\/www.imaginethismusic.com\/products\/alf-98-ep68107","provider":"Imagine This Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
