Any Saxophone Solo with piano
The Ragtime Dance saxophone solo with piano, by Scott Joplin.
Joplin wrote two works with the title "The Ragtime Dance". The first, written in 1899 and published in 1902, is something like a ballet with songs and a speaking part for narrator. It was a failure on stage and is now forgotten. The second and much better known work is a piano rag based on some of the tunes in the stage show.
This little piano rag is one of the genre’s most loved pieces and has been transcribed for many different ensembles. It has been used in many films, most notably in the 1973 movie "The Sting".
This arrangement is is for any saxophone solo with piano accompaniment and is in the original key. Parts for E flat (alto, baritone) and B flat (soprano, tenor) saxophones are included. What everyone always remembers about The Ragtime Dance is the moment when Joplin asks the performers to vigorously stomp the floor in rhythm! This is the "stop-time" feature mentioned in the subtitle.
