More Joplin rags on IMSLP

March 17, 2026, 4:31 PM · From my previous post for the Joplin rag "Solace":
###
Perlman recorded a set of Scott Joplin ragtime pieces sometime ago. He published 6 of them in "Ragtime for Violin (Six Scott Joplin Rags for Violin and Piano)". I enjoy the 4 that he didn't publish, as well, so I'm working on arranging them for violin and piano.

In addition to the piece "Solace", I adapted the "Sugar Cane Rag" and the "Pineapple Rag" from the Perlman album, and put the music on IMSLP:

https://imslp.org/wiki/Pine_Apple_Rag_(Joplin%2C_Scott)

Look for the "Arrangement/Transcription" page, for "Violin and Piano".

There's some tricky fingering and double stops. I'd be curious to see what folks think of the fingering I inserted into the Pineapple Rag at letter A/measure 37. 😊

I hope you enjoy the music!
