Complete Piano Rags

Summary: Complete Piano Rags by Scott Joplin
Review: This is excellent and well written music of Scott's Rag's. It contains all the good rags. It does not contain some of the waltz's and marches such as the Rose Bud March that is in the other book I highly recommend: (Scott Joplin Best or Ragtime Piano Solos). It can be ordered through Amazon. Excellent! Check out the Sedalia Missouri ragtime festivel around the first of June each year. It is wonderful.
