Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin
Written for solo piano, “Maple Leaf Rag” was Scott Joplin’s most important composition. Published in 1899, this work was the first sheet music publication in the United States to sell over one million copies, and it provided a secure income for the composer. Playable by the late intermediate/early advanced level pianist, “Maple Leaf Rag” is an amazing 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.
