Scott Joplin's Rags have become American classics and should be respectfully afforded their place in our cultural heritage as the best examples of an idiom and an art form. Rags, like the waltzes of Schubert and Chopin, are valid artistic expressions of an epoch. Time has obliterated most of the social prejudices associated with Ragtime and we are now better able to assess the music without bias. Marches and Waltzes were popular in the late 19th century and Scott Joplin's first published compositions in 1896 were in these two salable musical styles. ORIGINAL RAGS, Joplin's first Rag, appeared in March of 1899 and was followed three months later by his greatest commercial success, the famous Maple Leaf Rag. Joplin, like dozens of others, had until then earned his living playing in vaudeville, saloons and sporting houses but he' had the incentive and determination to break away at the first opportunity. The royalties from his published works afforded him this opportunity. From 1900 until his death in 1917 his income came primarily from his composing and teaching. The . exceptional musicianship of Wm. Neil Roberts combined with the tonal resources of a modern harpsichord bring to Ragtime a refreshing elegance and ease. In the hands of a sympathetic and scholarly artist, an instrument is but a tool for musical expression. Bach, Couperin and Scarlatti each had a distinctly personal way of writing for the harpsichord and Roberts' performances on this recording demonstrate still another, though neglected, possible use of the instrument. Wm. Neil Roberts holds two degrees in musicology, titudied harpsichord with Alice Ehlers and is well known for his clas'sical recordings and concert appearances. This recording as well as "Great Scott! Ragtime on the Harpsichord" (KS SID) and "The Nine Muses" (KS 506) are testimonies to Roberts' musical impartiality, sensitivity and sincerity; qualities admired and respected by his pupils, friends and audiences.
