My Favorite Rag is a happy composition with some beautiful tinkling melodies spiced with a few quirky bits. Also quirky is its form which is AABBACDC with a 4-bar introduction and two 4.bar interludes between the AC- and DC- strains. The A- and B-strains are of 16 bars whilst the remainder have miserly 8 bars whereby the ABBA- and CDC-strains are written in the major keys of G-and c-respectively. The cover of the original sheet music shows a deranged pianist in an extraordinary posture obviously performing his favourite rag. In this adaptation for recorder quintet, the treble player will delight in tripling the triplets which characterise this piece.
