The notation
Engraving not yet checked by hand. Time signature, key, bar count and the length of every single bar have been checked against the source by machine. Whether every slur and beam is also set the way it is usually set has not yet been reviewed by a musician.
About the piece
Joplin wrote the rag in 1902; it became famous only in 1973, when the film »The Sting« used it. Joplin himself wrote of his rags: »It is never right to play ragtime fast.«
Public domain — both the work and the engraving. The setting comes from the Mutopia-Projekt, which marks its editions as public domain explicitly.
