Arranged by Gary Blake Peterson. Ragtime. 54 pages. Gary Blake Peterson #980224. Published by Gary Blake Peterson (A0.1396891). This arrangement of Scott Joplin's The Ragtime Dance is by Gary Blake Peterson and is from Gazza's Razztime Orchestra's Classic Rags Collection. It is from a compilation titled Standard High-Class Rags, but known informally as The Red Back Book which was published by John Stark around 1911. This was a collection of 15 rags that were arranged for bands of mixed instruments. Based on D. S. DeLisle's orchestration, it includes his added countermelodies.  These early orchestrations tended towards having all instruments playing all of the time, and had limited expressive markings.  This version adds a tuba and a viola, plus articulations and dynamics. Much is re-scored to add variety to the repeated sections - making it well suited to concert performance.  It is set for a 12-piece ragtime orchestra: String quartet, plus flute, clarinet in Bb, cornet, trombone, tuba, piano, drum set, and double bass.
