Scott Joplin: Piano Rags (original) (raw)

Piano Rags by Scott Joplin is an album by Joshua Rifkin, consisting of ragtime compositions by Scott Joplin, released on the Nonesuch Records label in 1970. The original album's spine and various compact disc reissues render the title as Scott Joplin: Piano Rags. The record is considered to have been the first to reintroduce Joplin's music in the early 1970s, initially gaining critical recognition and later commercial success after several of Joplin's compositions were featured in the 1973 film The Sting. It became Nonesuch Records' first million-selling album.
