Here's a Raggy piece I wrote about 10 years ago originally for accordion (Leprechaun Dance) and eventually became a piano solo called 'The Magic Lantern Rag' and later 'The Silent Movie Rag'.
I decided to call this version with Clarinet/Piano 'The Magic Lantern Rag' again for no particular reason.

This frenetic piece is a joy to play and reminds me of the silent movie days (not that I was there). The speed is really at the discretion of the performer.

The strong percussive style highlighted in the middle section features in a number of my ragtime tunes (not sure why though).
