UCB Ragtime Sheet Music Collection
I have a little Ragtime theme going this week after I listened to several
versions of the Sheik of Araby (below). I start off this theme with this
fine ragtime collection from the University of Colorado.

"He interpreted his subjects in an evocative and dreamlike manner, often
adding a strange, erotic charge. Increasingly he explored themes of a more
Romantic nature, taking up subjects that involved irrational emotions and
the exotic." Also, see these additional scans from the
