#RAGTIME MUSIC FOR FREE#

The Early Jazz page contains examples from the music genre - jazz - that in just a few years superseded ragtime and started a new era of hot music. Brass band arrangements are still by far outnumbered by orchestra arrangements on this web siteīut this will gradually change as I have a considerable backlog of brass band arrangements waiting to be processed. The collection includes 29 original ragtime era arrangements. The Orchestra/Brass band page contains arrangements for brass bands. The collection includes 151 original ragtime era arrangements including all 15 rags contained in the famous Red Back Book, published by Stark Music Co. The Orchestra/Small band page contains such arrangements for orchestra. Most ragtime pieces were originally written for piano but in many cases also arranged and published as so called stock arrangements for orchestras and brass bands. I have previously not considered them to be true ragtime pieces - but I've changed my mind. The Piano/Virtual piano page attempts to fill this gap with 103 rags, 91 of which have been transcribed and sequenced by me and the remaining 12 by Raymond Robijns.Īs per October 2019 I have decided to include syncopated ragtime waltzes written by ragtime composers in the collection. Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to find all the classical ragtime piano rolls that I wanted for the piano rolls page. The ones recorded during the first 10 - 15 years of the ragtime eraĬa 1898 - 1918, some of the ones presented here were actually hand played by their respective composer - among them four with Scott Joplin playing Although most of these recordings were sequenced by skilled arrangers - especially The Piano/Piano rolls page contains 217 authentic ragtime piano rollsĬonverted to mp3-format without loss of sound quality.
