The Maple Leaf Rag

Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" is a famous and delightful rag that is amazingly suitable for wind quintet (flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, F horn and bassoon). Originally for piano, the lively melody and bass parts have been shared by the five woodwind instruments in a way that brings out the full accompaniment and lively syncopated melodies of the original.
