Solace is perhaps Joplin's most beautiful composition, a tango of tremendous emotional depth, warmth and passion. Peter Gammond in his book Scott Joplin and the Ragtime Era waxes lyrical on this extraordinary piece devoting almost a complete page to it. Its form is a Joplin classic comprising a 4-bar introduction followed by AABBACCDD languorous strains three of which use a slow habanera rhythm. It was Joplin's only tango, a piece quite unlike anything he or anybody else had ever written before.
Solace was published by the Seminary Music Co., New York, USA.
A tempo of 56 crotchets/min. is suggested.
This recorder adaptation is respectfully dedicated to Ewald Fexer, Unser Eheti-eht der Pruzzige, of Bremen, Germany.
