Dear all,
I'm posting two rags that I don't hesitate to present as two ragtime masterpieces!
One is the charming and rare "
Some Jazz Blues", one of the best rags I've ever heard. I'm so jealous of this particular pieces that I almost didn't want to post it!
I also include a piano roll of this piece.
The other piece is a 1909 rag by the talented
Logan Sizemore and the title is "
Scizzor Bill".
The piece is dedicated to his brother, Arthur Sizemore, another great ragtime composer.
Arthur composed "The Climbers" and you can find the sheet music here:

Then also another great rag entitled "Blue Blazes", that I heard on a CD but I don't have and some very obscure pieces like "Moppin' Up Rag" or "Oak Leaf Rag" which I've never heard and that make me curious (also considering the great quality of "Blue Blazes" and "The Climbers"!)
Logan also composed another obscure piece entitled "Sky Rocket Rag", that I'm not so sure it was actually published...
Enjoy "Scizzor Bill"!
Best RAGards
