"The third Joplin rag arranged by Richard Smith, 'Pineapple Rag' is one of my all time favourites. I had the pleasure of playing this one with Richard and it was interesting having him walk me through it and point out parts of his own arrangement that he thought didn't work and other passages that he liked. This arrangement also showed me the cool trick of tuning to drop D for the modulated sections, a technique I have since used in my own Joplin arrangements.
Thought to be named after Joplin's favourite fruit, 'Pineapple Rag' is often regarded as one of his finest works and upon its release gave Joplin a good income for the proceeding year."
