For all that, \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eScott Joplin\u003c\/span\u003e’s music was largely forgotten for a long time after his death in 1917, until 1970, when the young pianist and musicologist Joshua Rifkin set off a veritable Joplin renaissance with his recording “Piano Rags”. Thanks to the film score for the crime caper “The Sting”, Joplin’s ragtime pieces have become world-famous and are greatly loved by pianists of all ages and playing levels. It is therefore hard to imagine a more suitable editor than Rifkin for the first critical Urtext edition of Scott Joplin’s piano music, which as a significant contribution to American music history finds its rightful place in the Henle catalogue. This practical and affordable individual edition of the “Maple Leaf Rag” – an effective ragtime of medium difficulty – offers a small foretaste of the volume containing all of Joplin’s piano works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67852950667396,"sku":"HN1728","price":16.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0366\/6984\/9732\/files\/HN1728.png?v=1792981599","url":"https:\/\/www.musicjunction.com.au\/products\/joplin-maple-leaf-rag","provider":"Music Junction Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
