A few rags written by women composers have been included. “Hoosier Rag” was written by Julia Lee Niebergall, “Pickles and Peppers“ was written by Adaline Shepherd. “The Thriller Rag” was written by May Aufderheide. Zez Confrey‘s “Kitten on the Keys” is in this collection of Ragtime sheet music. Some of these pieces are hard to find elsewhere. This is a great resource for Ragtime piano solos.
