"The Entertainer" is a 1902 classic piano rag written by Scott Joplin. As one of the classics of the ragtime genre, it returned to international prominence as part of the style revival in the 1970s, when it was used as the theme music for the 1973 Oscar-winning film The Sting. In the June 7, 1903, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, contemporary composer Monroe H. Rosenfeld described "The Entertainer" as "the best and most euphonious" of Joplin's compositions to that point. "It is a jingling work of a very original character, embracing various strains of a retentive character which set the foot in spontaneous action and leave an indelible imprint on the tympanum".This arrangement for double bass (contrabass) with piano accompaniment is suitable for any occasion: classroom, repertoire, recital or for a funny encore!
