Joplin - Marches 9 Original Pieces for Piano

Anyone who hears the name of Scott Joplin immediately thinks of the ragtime which is inseparably connected with this composer particularly since the film "The Sting" has triggered a real renaissance of this musical style. The fact that the American rag master also wrote compositions for other genres – he actually left a veritable opera – is hardly known. The present volume unites the original piano marches written by Joplin: They are true marches yet occasionally also ragtimes 'in disguise' bearing a 'March' in the title – these technically not too difficult piano settings guarantee joyful moments of music-making. And they evoke the atmosphere of the North American clubs cafes and salons around 1900.
