 Ragtime has some of the most glorious songs on Broadway! August 31, 2000
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I had an urge to play some Ragtime tunes on my piano, so I bought this book and began to play. It has the vocal selections along with the sheet music. I find that the sheet music consists of many many chords, making it more difficult, but it's still great fun to play and sing! Great for auditions!Ragtime has awesome music, and though not all of the best songs are in this, most of them are. My favorite song from Ragtime is Wheels of a Dream, and I was SO happy to see it in here. One thing I enjoyed about the Ragtime music book was that it wasn't chopped up. When I say that, I mean from experience with other piano books. Many books with chop up the song like from movies for instance. The songs are translated and arranged horribly, but I loved that since a lot of the music from the musical was in piano solo, the music plays EXACTLY the same as you would've heard on Broadway! Overall, each song is wonderful and this music is an absolute delight to play! Enjoy!
 Where's "The Show Biz"? June 18, 2000
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love this book and have used it many times for auditions/concerts etc. However, one of my most favorite selections from the Original 1996 Toronto recording is the song between Nesbit and Houdini called "The Show Biz". Besides being hilarious, it's the perfect duet to open a concert with. I was extremely disappointed to find that this book didn't include that song. Does anyone know where that sheet music can be found?

Over 1 million copies have been sold. This has to be one of the greatest songbooks from broadway ever.
Two wonderful songs are missing! June 13, 1999
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I think the songs chosen to represent this book were excellent, however, my two favorite songs in the show: "The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square" and "Atlantic City" are two songs which strongly express the musical's powerful vocal potential. Not only do I know several people who would like to get their hands on this sheet music, but I myself have been racking my brain for those two songs inparticular, and was disapointed to find they were missing form this book.
