He was born in Texarkana, Texas and grew up in a musical family. At age seven, he discovered a piano in a neighbour's house and began experimenting with it by ear. His father soon bought a second-hand piano, and by age eleven Joplin's gifts were the talk of the community. In 1897, Joplin had his breakthrough, when he completed his Maple Leaf Rag. He was discovered by the publisher John Stark in the Maple Leaf Club in Sedalia, Missouri. Stark purchased Maple Leaf Rag for 50 dollars, offering Joplin a continuing royalty and the rest was history. The Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer are amongst his best-known works, the latter of which has become very much Joplin's \"theme tune\". Joplin's music featured prominently in the Academy Award-winning 1973 film The Sting, including The Entertainer and Solace. The Entertainer became a huge hit and the ragtime craze launched in 1893 came full circle. Phillip Dyson, recognised as one of Britain's most sought after and innovative concert pianists and broadcasts regularly on the BBC and Classic FM, has recorded Joplin's Complete Piano Works for Decca, reaffirming Joplin's reputation as a serious and influential American composer. Joplin's music has prevailed. Ragtime scholars and speciality pianists have kept his memory alive for decades. His rags, marches and waltzes are securely ensconced in the piano repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat Crush Collision March (1896)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Combination March (1896)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Harmony Club Waltz (1896)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Original Rags (1899)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maple Leaf Rag (1899)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Peacherine Rag (1901)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Augustan Club Waltz (1901)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Easy Winners (1901)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cleopha (1902)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Breeze from Alabama (1902)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Elite Syncopations (1902)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Entertainer (1902)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e March Majestic (1902)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Strenuous Life (1902)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Weeping Willow (1903)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Palm Leaf Rag (1903)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Favorite (1904)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sycamore (1904)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Cascades (1904)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Chrysanthemum (1904)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bethena (1905)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Rosebud March (1905)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Leola (1905)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Binks' Waltz (1905)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eugenia (1905)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Antoinette (1906)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ragtime Dance (1906)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gladiolus Rag (1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nonpareil (None to Equal) (1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sugar Cane (1908)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pine Apple Rag (1908)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wall Street Rag (1909)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Solace (1909)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pleasant Moments (1909)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Country Club (1909)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Euphonic Sounds (1909)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paragon Rag (1909)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stoptime Rag (1910)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Scott Joplin's New Rag (1912)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Magnetic Rag (1914)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reflection Rag (1917)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swipesy (1900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunflower Slow Drag (1901)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Something Doing (1903)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lily Queen (1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heliotrope Bouquet (1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Felicity Rag (1911)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kismet Rag (1913)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sensation (1908)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Silver Swan Rag (1971)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fig Leaf Rag (1908)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rose Leaf Rag (1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Searchlight Rag (1907)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No. 13 Frolic of the Bears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No. 19 Prelude to Act III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No. 27 a Real Slow Drag (Finale to Act III)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522222526738,"sku":"028948301348","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/scott-joplin-complete-piano-works-of-scott-joplin-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
