Chatterbox Rag

Composer's note: “The original version of this piece was written in January 2010 for carillon, commissioned by Lyn Fuller, the carillonist in Canberra, as part of a suite called Ragged Bells; this movement was called A Little Sad Rag. I thought that played at a substantially faster speed it can become a completely different piece, with a different, much more optimistic mood. I promised young Max Winters, a flute student of my friend Sally Walker, that I would one day write him a piece called Chatterbox Rag, so I finally thought that this might perhaps work for his program in his studies.” Elena Kats-Chernin
