Born in Texarkana, Texas, U.S.A., and raised in a musical family, he came across a neighbor's piano at the age of seven and began experimenting with it by ear. Soon his father bought him a secondhand piano, and by age 11 Joplin's talents were being touted in the community. 1897 marked a major breakthrough for Joplin when he completed \"The Maple Leaf Rag. Music publisher John Stark, whom Joplin had met at the Maple Leaf Club in Sedalia, Missouri, released The Maple Leaf Rag to great success. The Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer are the best known of Joplin's works, but The Entertainer has become Joplin's \"theme song. This song and \"Solace\" were used in the 1973 Oscar-winning film \"The Sting,\" and \"The Entertainer\" was a huge hit, bringing ragtime back into the spotlight. Philip Dason is one of Britain's most popular and innovative concert pianists, appearing regularly on BBC and Classic FM programs.To reaffirm Joplin's reputation as a serious and influential American composer, Decca has recorded a complete collection of his piano works. 4 CD set.
