Who would have thought that ragtime would enjoy another renaissance ! But more than 50 years after the death of its main representative, Scott Joplin, the film 'The Sting' has made this once popular style well-known and fashionable again. This small selection of Joplin rags is of course not complete without 'The Entertainer'. In comparison, 'Easy Winners' and 'Rag-Time Dance' are no less fun to play, particularly since in the latter the performer not only has to play but also stomp his foot. Excellent music providing entertainment for many occasions ! Instrumentation : clarinet (in Bb) and piano

1906, Scott Joplin met the Creole pianist and composer Louis Chauvin. This encounter resulted in the creation of the rag tune Heliotrope Bouquet. The latter of the two, who could neither read nor write music, composed the first two parts, A and B. Scott Joplin assisted Chauvin with the notation and completed the joint composition by contributing the two additional parts C and D. Instrumentation : 4 saxophones (SATBar)

Scott Joplin, né le 24 novembre 1868 au Texas (probablement à Texarkana) et mort le 1er avril 1917 à New York, est un pianiste et compositeur afro-américain. Bien qu'ayant écrit des œuvres dans plusieurs styles, y compris le classique et l'opéra, sa notoriété tient principalement à ses compositions de musique ragtime. Sa musicalité, son talent et son importance dans l’histoire du ragtime et de la musique américaine sont exceptionnels. Encore aujourd’hui, Scott Joplin demeure le plus connu des compositeurs ayant écrit des ragtimes. Ses morceaux les plus célèbres dans ce style sont le Maple Leaf Rag, publié en 1899, et The Entertainer, publié en 1902.
