Scott Joplin: Notes

The ultimate resource for any research on Scott Joplin should begin 
with Nancy R. Ping-Robbins' excellent book, Scott Joplin: A Guide to 
Research (New York: Garland, 1998).  Most of these files and many 
others prior to 1998 are found in that source.

The following is the code to the Joplin files:

JOPARL - periodical articles.

JOPBIB - a selective bibliography.

JOPBIO - excellent biographical sketch by noted ragtime author, 
Edward A. Berlin.

JOPBOK - specific books on Joplin.

JOPBOM - music books related to Joplin or Ragtime.

JOPCMP - a listing of Joplin's complete works by title and a select 
list of Joplin and Ragtime collections.

JOPDIS - a selective list of theses and dissertations.

JOPDSC - a selective, yet thorough, list of available recordings.

JOPNET - annotated list of selective internet sites and links.

JOPNSP - newspaper articles

JOPREF - a rather complete bibliography of references.

JOPSTF - undifferentiated stuff: topics relating to Joplin or 
Ragtime; reference to the motion pictures, "Scott Joplin" (1977) and 
"The Sting (1973); list of original sources and archives.
