Happy Duck Rag - J.n.b.

I know there’s notation errors but I’m too lazy to fix them
Here's the link: musescore.com/user/38784490/s...
A little ditty that I had stuck in my head for a day or two- used by me as a way to improve my notation skills, so hopefully my pieces will be easier to read from this point onward. The noticeable spike in difficulty level is to challenge myself, composition and playing wise. Musescore messes up practically any note over a sixteenth, but I have played them myself, I promise it sounds better on an actual piano. A note about notes: The narrative is written in between the staves, while general notes are written above and below them. Enjoy!

I love this!!! The little high grace notes at measure 16 remind me of a duck quacking!

I really wanted to enjoy it more. I liked the main theme but I could get into the B or the trio as much. I can tell it’s full of character when played by a human.

Yeah, I get that- musescore isn't the most expressive without explicit directions, and this was one of my earliest rags, so my directions are a little vague (dynamics, accents/marcato/staccato, etc.) and it definitely sounds better played by an actual pianist. Also that b strain is for sure ehhhhhh I was struggling to complete a 16 bar phrase so I kinda just lumped stuff in lol... but thank you regardless!

Your write some perfect rags! Well done love the massive sharps in this rag very rare in ragtime (especially 5 sharps)
