Title: It's not all Joplin
Review: If you only want one ragtime collection, then you need a Joplin-only CD. This is not it. But Morath's "The World of Scott Joplin" is unique and wonderful. In addition to a nice selection of Joplin, he brings the music of Joplin's most important contemporaries (other than Chauvin) back to life. If Joplin is the Shakespeare of ragtime, Morath reminds us that there was also a Marlowe and a Jonson.He also manages to sneak in two of his own pieces, which might seem like cheating, but they are refreshingly modern ragtime pieces and worth learning in their own right. The sheet music for those appears in Rudi Blesh's "They All Played Ragtime," which, incidentally, makes a pretty clear argument that you need more than a Joplin-only collection to really appreciate ragtime.
