Great edition! Great custom service! This has been a great expetience, will definatly visit the store again, thank you!

This book has the best compilation of Joplin rags. The price is reasonable and the delivery was very fast. Thank You.

One of the best publications of the Joplin Rags. Each one was better than the other, and I stayed up till the wee hours of the night, determined to finish going through everything. So much fun. And I will continue buying from Sheetmusicplus.com. Everything arrives on time and their...

selection of music is great.

This is a great edition of the complete Joplin piano works, including The School of Ragtime. In typical Schirmer fashion, the paper and type are fine. Previous reviewers have written about their difficulty in keeping the book flat. Kinko's cut the spine off mine and ring bound it with...

plastic covers. Problem solved. My only complaint is all the page turns! Most of the rags have 2 page turns. I don't think that the editors would have sacrificed readability by putting more systems on a page. The editors of www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Library-Of-Ragtime-Early-Blues-Piano/3594359 managed to put each of their Joplin selections on 4 pages with 1 page turn. Minor point, but there's not much room in Joplin to drop notes to make the page turn.

This is serious American music. This music is fun to play....once you've got the notes in your fingers. The more advanced your octave technique the better. After all that, it's your body which plays the music. There's hardly a European note in the whole book.
