This guide is designed to provide thumbnail sketches of selected ragtime composers and their known repertoire of both published and unpublished tunes. It is in no way complete, as there are many outstanding books on them collectively and individually. It is only meant to provide a little more insight for the ragtime novice, or perhaps a quick reference for those well versed in the art. In many cases, the compositions listed for each composer encompass only instrumentals, as many wrote songs as well. In the case of songs or collaborations, other people are noted in brackets [ ] or through numbers with a key listed at the end. The dates listed are either known dates of composition or publication, except where noted. Some of these are the only web resource available on certain composers. For further information I may suggest certain reference sources, and for an overall view of good references currently available or tucked away in your local library, please check out my Bibliography and Sources page. I am not trying to duplicate the efforts of anybody else, just enhance some of what is already available in a concise and easy to access format. Comments are always welcome.
