The Ragtime Dance by Scott Joplin
“The Ragtime Dance” was published in 1906 and is subtitled “A Stop-Time Two Step.” Stop-time is a musical style in which silences—punctuated with foot-stamping—are inserted to interrupt the music. This fun work is playable by the late intermediate/early advanced level pianist and is always crowd-pleaser. This interactive, urtext edition includes a digitally restored original sheet music cover, historical commentary and analysis by Dr. Robert Willey, and an inspiring MIDI recording by concert artist Richard Dowling.
