Grade 6 has some of the most famous rags by Scott Joplin. Lots of people will recognise them as soon as you play the opening notes. The Easy Winners is a big favourite of mine.
Check out the story of Joplin's life on Wikipedia. Link here:
Scott Joplin's Life The Easy Winners
The Entertainer (this is the real version of the simplified Grade 1/Grade 2 piece)
Leola
Peacherine Rag (this link is a piano player version)
Pine Apple Rag
Silver Swan Rag - this one is from a piano roll - there are less notes in the real version. Read the notes below the video to get the story as to why.
