Richard Dowling - The Complete Piano Works Of Scott Joplin Release:The Complete Piano Works Of Scott Joplin Rivermont Petersburg State Symphony Orch -(3 CD set) Scott Joplin (c. 1867 1917) remains one of America's most important and original composers, renowned for his piano rags and ragtime waltzes. As the "King of Ragtime Writers," his mastery of the form is evident in such works as "Maple Leaf Rag," "The Entertainer," "Gladiolus Rag," "Solace," and many others that combine infectious rhythms with exquisite melodies. His piano works are at times overwhelmingly joyous and at times deeply poignant.
