Paperback, 305 pages, (November 1975)
Amazon Review
Reviewer: Bryan (see more about me) from Lynchburg, Virginia United States
Here's another great collection of rags from Dover. The book contains 63 rags printed from the original sheet music with black and white reproductions of all the covers. Despite being printed from copies of the original sheet music, all pieces are very clear and easy to read. .... It truly is a "5 star" book. I'm so thankful to be able to have copies of these rare rags for such an affordable price. Many of the pieces in here would cost $50 or more each *if* you could find the original sheet music!
They are loads of fun to play. These are NOT simplified arrangements of the pieces, these are the REAL thing! Since Amazon didn't post a listing of the pieces contained within this collection, I've typed one up from my copy:
