From the Back Cover

Nowhere else will you find so many great ragtime and blues piano classics in one volume. These complete, original piano arrangements evoke the true spirit of the ragtime era--from the elegance of the Joplin tradition to the romping cakewalks and folk rags of the old south. Pianists and vocalists alike will also enjoy the great song hits of this golden age--from the ragtime show-stoppers of Irving Berlin to the lowdown blues of W.C. Handy and other bluesmasters.
