Piano Rags by Scott Joplin is an album by Joshua Rifkin consisting of ragtime compositions by Scott Joplin, released by Nonesuch Records in 1970. The spine of the original album and various compact disc reissues render the title as Scott Joplin: Piano Rags.[1]
The album is considered to have been the first to reintroduce Joplin's music in the early 1970s and thus contributing to the 1970s revival of Ragtime. It received critical recognition upon its release, and, after several of Joplin's compositions were featured in the 1973 film The Sting, achieved commercial success, becoming Nonesuch Records' first million-selling album.
