Five Ragtime Duets by Scott Joplin for Flute and Clarinet by David McKeown Woodwind Duet - Digital Sheet Music
By Scott JoplinScott Joplin
Scott Joplin is celebrated as the United States’ first well-known black composer, making his name as a writer of piano rags. His life was a constant struggle with adversity, and Joplin died relatively young in 1917, at the dawn of the recording age. Few remembered Joplin’s music until a revival in the 1970s brought The Entertainer and others to the world’s attention. Nowadays Scott Joplin has taken his rightful place in the gallery of great American composers.
