Most commentators believe that Felicity Rag was written about 1903 and, for commercial reasons, languished in John Stark's possession until the market was finally ready to take another Joplin composition in 1911. This is, in keeping with its title, a very happy bubbling piece.
Felicity Rag was published by Stark Music Co, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
A tempo of 76 crotchets/min. is suggested.
