About this score
This is the complete piece, not an excerpt. The notes were converted from the Mutopia Project's public-domain typesetting of The Harlem Rag (piece 443, typeset from the source “Jos. Stern & Co.”; licence: Public Domain) and checked against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note (repeats included). The score is the same music in a different file format; we dedicate our conversion to the public domain (CC0 1.0). Mutopia Project page
