Product description
This is a collection of eight well-known rags for guitar by the two most famous ragtime composers Scott Joplin (1867-1917) and Tom Turpin (1871-1922) in a simple arrangement for a classical guitar.
Scott Joplin (1867-1917) was an African-American musician, pianist, and composer, one of the first representatives of ragtime music, who is now known as the King of Ragtime. During his career he wrote more than 100 ragtime and non-ragtime compositions, one ragtime ballet and two operas. His most famous compositions include Maple Leaf Rag, Elite Syncopations and The Entertainer, which even reached number three on the US singles chart in 1974.
