Frog Legs Rag (1906) Now we need adjectives in fifteen degrees with a rising inflection. We need letters a foot high and a few exclamation points about the size of Cleopatra's needle--but we won't tell you of the piece, we want to surprise you.
Sunburst Rag A standard rag. Profound as Beethoven and thrilling as a country fiddler.
Had any of the old Masters written this piece it would have added a star to his crown. It will live forever.
Hilarity Rag By the King of Rag Writers. Hilarity is furious as a cat fight and will add materially to the gaiety of nations. We think this Scott's master piece. Better even than "Grace and Beauty", "Frog Legs" or "Ophelia". Everyone will finally have it and you can see for yourself.
Ragtime Oriole A rare composition. Would have done credit to any composer of the past or present.
Climax Rag A Real Classic. Scott's name on a rag is like Rockefeller's name on a check. It is legal tender. This is Scott's latest, but no person will look for the date on a Scott rag. They will go echoing down the corridors of time when the season's hits have a long time been forgotten.
