5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, buy it!, 12 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This book is wonderful - it contains all of Scott Joplin's rags in full, exactly as they appeared when first published. They are in chronological order (from "Original Rags" in 1899 to "Silver Swan Rag" which was published posthumously in 1971) and there is a full page black and white picture of the original cover of each piece. There are 38 piano rags in total - this book is strictly *only* his rags, none of his waltzes or other compositions are present. Classics such as the Entertainer, Easy Winners, Maple Leaf Rag, Gladiolus Rag, and Fig Leaf Rag are all included, as well as 6 'school of ragtime' exercises by Joplin himself. This is a wonderful book to own and will keep you occupied for months if you want to play all the rags, as they are not easy. The book measures 9 inches by 12 inches. Highly recommendable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Value, 20 Jul 2005

By	"robbo188" - See all my reviews

It's always hard to buy something which has little or no information, like many other music scores out there. All you need to know for this book is that it contains about 38 full length songs (fully scored not cut down one bit!) which will keep even the best players busy for a long while. For anyone who doesn't know, Joplin's works were of a high standard and I would warn beginners from this straight away. The book is very chunky for a scorebook and has all the illustrations from the posters of each song (for people who like that sort of thing). All in all you get much more for your money than so many other scorebooks. If you love Joplin's music (and I suggest you have some sort of CD to refer to) then do buy so long as you are an intermediate pianist. I've no doubt that a few songs are missing and am sorry I can't list all 38, however you certainly get a good amount for your money and at amazon, for a tenner? It's a steal!
