Digital Sheet Music

By Scott Joplin

Item Number: A0.896952

Scott Joplin (1867-1917) was an American composer and pianist renowned for his ragtime compositions. "Maple Leaf Rag" in particular achieved great fame and popularity, becoming one of ragtime’s most influential pieces, and has been dubbed "the archetypal rag". The roots of ragtime originate from African-American communities in the late 19th century, identifiable by its syncopated, or ragged, rhythms.

This is a challenging recital piece, combining scalic passages, arpeggiated phrases, and syncopated rhythms.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
