This collection delivers faithful, full piano solo arrangements of Scott Joplin's rags, as adapted by Marvin Hamlisch for *The Sting*. While not strictly designed as vocal accompaniments, the detailed late intermediate piano texture offers a rich foundation. A creative coach could adapt these, perhaps simplifying certain lines or using them for instrumental interludes in a vocal program. A high-quality Hal Leonard publication.

This Hal Leonard collection of Marvin Hamlisch's *The Sting* arrangements is fantastic for late intermediate students. The SMP Level 7 difficulty, featuring 4-5 note chords and octaves, provides a great challenge. The clear engraving quality aids in sight-reading and understanding Joplin's iconic ragtime rhythms. It's perfect for developing advanced technique and stylistic interpretation in a fun, recognizable context.

For *The Sting* material, these Marvin Hamlisch arrangements are the definitive versions and sound great. The collection is 40 pages, so plan page turns. While it's a piano solo book, not a lead sheet, don't expect chord symbols over every measure. It's ideal for a full piano feature rather than quick gig charts, offering authentic and detailed ragtime renditions of classic Joplin tunes.

I've always loved the music from *The Sting*, and these Marvin Hamlisch arrangements are exactly what I wanted! As a late intermediate player, the SMP Level 7 is challenging but very rewarding. Practicing these Scott Joplin rags is such a joy, and I feel like I'm really sounding like the movie. This collection is perfect for an adult learner wanting to master classic ragtime.
