A RAGTIME COMPENDIUM

Welcome to Version 8 (31st May 2008)

You’ve accessed the data before so you know the score.   I suggest you download the Notes also as there are additional sources and MIDI sites since Version 7.

Line numbers differ from Version 7 (and also from earlier versions) due to both additions and a few deletions.  Where there have been changes since Version 7 (added renditions, typos, variations to composer details, etc) the particular data is bolded in the spreadsheet.   New MIDI sources for individual titles are also bolded.

Major sources for Version 8 have been Lothar Sluijs, the piano roll transcriptions sites of Robert Perry, Terry Smythe and Warren Trachtman, the websites of Richard White & Sibelius Music, some public library material, etc.   In the light of this being my final offering there has been rigorous web searching for missing data.



Statistics for Version 8

  • 1,098 corrections.

  • 450 new titles (and again a few dropped out).   The total is now 13,703 titles.

  • At least 1,413 new MIDI renditions listed, many being the only MIDI we have found of a particular title.   The total number of titles with public domain MIDIs is now 4,136.

    On my hard drive I have a copy of almost every MIDI cited and I can help fellow enthusiasts with copies of most.   Particularly I offer 2 CD’s – one of all the MIDIs cited as 'new in Version 8' (USD 12 posted anywhere in the world) and one of 'a version of each title for which a MIDI is listed' (also USD 12 posted anywhere in the world).   A RAGTIME COMPENDIUM is not, and never has been, 'commercial' so the prices reflect only the copying effort and freight.  If you would like to receive either of these please access me and I will explain how to remit.
