The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, arranged by D. Ippensen for string quartet. Melody and harmony are shared between the violins, while the viola and cello carry a rhythmic bass line. Viola and cello are in first position, and violins do not go beyond fifth position. Dynamics and phrasings are well edited, but teachers should add fingerings for this [90-measure] work.
