Purchasing information Notice for leaders/bass players

Length: approx. 3¾ mins. Sounds best if the 1st tenor and 2nd bass are doubled.
Ethiopia Rag is another delightful Lamb rag composition, its form being Intro. +AABBA (Ab major) followed by CCDD (Db major). It has many intricacies which need watching out for and careful playing.
Ethiopia Rag was published by the Stark Music Co, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Although Lamb himself set the tempo of 100 crotchets/min. (unseemly haste for a slow march!), 80-90 crotchets/min. is suggested.
