Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by S. Carnelos. This edition: pdf. Jazz, March, Ragtime. Individual part. 4 pages. Sandro Carnelos #1388410. Published by Sandro Carnelos (A0.1828520).

Bring the "King of Ragtime" to the organ loft with this vibrant new transcription of Scott Joplin’s most iconic work, The Entertainer. While originally composed for piano in 1902, this arrangement by Sandro Carnelos reimagines the piece through the expansive tonal palette of the Symphonic Organ.
Rather than a literal note-for-note copy, this version leverages the organ's unique ability to sustain sound and utilize contrasting manuals. It captures the rhythmic "snap" of the ragtime style while allowing the performer to explore orchestral registrations—from bright reeds for the main theme to delicate flutes for the more lyrical episodes.
Key Features
Symphonic Character: Carefully voiced to suit instruments with a wide variety of stops, allowing for a "grand" concert performance.
Performer-Friendly: While it maintains the syncopated energy of the original, the pedal parts and manual distributions are ergonomically designed for a fluid performance.
Versatile Use: An ideal "encore" piece for recitals, a cheerful addition to wedding postludes, or a sophisticated demonstration piece for the organ’s versatile nature.
Why choose this version?
Sandro Carnelos brings his extensive experience as an organist and composer to this transcription, ensuring that the essence of Joplin’s "Classic Rag" is never lost in translation. This is not just a piano piece played on an organ; it is a true organ work that honors the spirit of the early 20th century.
“It is never right to play Ragtime fast,” Joplin famously wrote. This symphonic arrangement provides the perfect framework to explore that signature relaxed, elegant tempo with the majestic resonance of the pipe organ.
